AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Iconic and modular seating group DS-600 designed in 1972 by Ueli Berger, Eleonore Peduzzi Riva, Heinz Ulrich, and Klaus Vogt for de Sede, Switzerland, 1980s.
As-new condition.
This exceptional exemplar consists of a total of 22 elements — 16 central elements and 6 elevated side elements/armrests/ends — covered with high-quality dark moka brown leather, Switzerland, 1980s.
We also love the configuration as individual chairs, consisting of two central elements and two side elements – a variant that is rarely offered, yet both visually highly sophisticated and exceptionally comfortable.
The high number of side elements thus offers the owner an extraordinary degree of flexibility and a wide range of possible configurations.
The DS-600 is known for its sculptural flexibility, enabling countless arrangements from serpentine lines to dramatic circle forms. Handcrafted in Switzerland, it represents the pinnacle of leather craftsmanship by de Sede and remains one of the most celebrated seating furniture designs of the 20th century.
A rare configuration in exceptional size and a true statement piece for generous interiors.
In the photos taken in the white room, the leather appears black; in fact, it is dark brown as shown in the first 3 and the last 2 photos.

Seller's Story
Since we can remember we felt attracted to beauty and exceptional things. Aesthetic has always been more than something superficial for us. It was something magic going much deeper than the surface, creating positive feelings and energies.
Harmonies, sacred proportions, colors and materials combined with time, create their very special energies and are mostly things that hardly can be described but always can be felt.
To define beauty would be far to philosophical, but we think, if something touches you by the way it looks and gives you good energy at the same time, then it would define our personal definition of beauty.
And if beauty is something that has no other purpose than making you feel good just by the way it looks, then beauty is something we surely do not want to miss in our lives.
We thank existence for giving us all those unique materials and designs and all the talented designers and craftsmen for bringing their visions and abilities to life and sharing it, to bring us purpose combined with joy.
We are glad to have the platform Catawiki where we can share our passion for extraordinary and beautiful things with like-minded people.
