The History of de Sede: From Craftsmanship to a Global Brand
The success story of de Sede began in 1965 in Klingnau, Switzerland. What started as a specialized saddlery for custom-made, handcrafted leather furniture quickly gained international renown through the uncompromising quality of materials and workmanship. Icons like the famous "Tatzelwurm" sofa DS-600 or the Terrazza landscape DS-1025 have made design history.
To this day, de Sede remains true to its roots: the passion for the natural material leather and masterly manual craftsmanship are the core of every design. In a world of mass production, de Sede consistently focuses on longevity and the art of individual manufacturing.
What Makes de Sede a Legend
The Art of Leather Processing
The heart of de Sede is leather. Only the best hides are processed in the manufactory. The brand is particularly famous for its neck leather—up to 5 mm thick and yet incredibly supple. This material depth gives the furniture an unmistakable haptic quality and a patina that gains character over the years.
Sculptural Design Language
de Sede furniture pieces are more than just seating; they are statements in a room. Whether it's organic curves or striking folds like the DS-707—the designs challenge the status quo while offering ergonomic perfection at the highest level.
Swiss Manufactory Quality
Every detail, from the precise decorative stitching to the inner workings of the upholstery, is executed with the utmost care. The combination of state-of-the-art technology and traditional saddlery craftsmanship guarantees durability that lasts for generations.
