AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Bring home absolute Swiss top quality and a bold statement with this set of two iconic de Sede DS-50 lounge chairs. This model is the ultimate embodiment of the 70s 'brutalist' design trends: rugged, masculine, yet incredibly elegant.

What makes this set unique is the legendary upholstery. It features the rare buffalo neck leather up to 5 mm thick. This leather lives, breathes, and over the decades has developed a wonderfully lived-in patina that no new chair can match.

The monumental armrests and the artisanal, thick leather saddle stitches (saddle stitches) demonstrate why Sede is worldwide the undisputed king of leather furniture.

The ultimate relaxing experience:

As soon as you sit down, you understand why this model is so sought after. The chairs conform to your body. With a subtle shift in weight you activate the hidden, continuously variable reclining mechanism, allowing the chair to smoothly tilt back into a deliciously relaxed stance. Perfect for a good movie, a glass of wine, or a moment for yourself.
