AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Armchair De Sede DS-480 by Alfredo Häberli, 2006. Already nearly 20 years old…

Inspired by the DS-140 by Reto Frigg and the DS-450 by Thomas Althaus, this new model from Alfredo surpasses both of them thanks to its fascinating features, its elegant polished chrome frame and its beautifully designed and crafted backrest.

Cleverly hidden buttons in the seat and backrest allow you to adjust the recline and lower the footrest in 'Relax' mode. When you raise your feet and press the button, the footrest automatically returns to the vertical position.

Moreover, the headrest is tiltable forward and backward, and the outer armrests are height-adjustable.

All functions are operational and this chair is in very good condition. Please consult the photos which are part of the description. A slight scratch is visible at the rear of the right backrest.

This sofa is both a work of art and a luxurious and extremely comfortable piece that is sure to make a statement! Not being manufactured anymore, it will retain, or even increase, its value over time if you take care of it, as is often the case for high-end De Sede sofas.

A few light signs of use, notably a few paint stains under the sofa, but they are invisible in the photos.

Buyer pays shipping via your carrier.

Dimensions:

Width: 230-160 cm
Depth: 95-155 cm
Height: 103 cm
Seat height: 41 cm
Backrest height: 65 cm
