Rare canapé Terrazza DS-1025 in taupe leather by Ubald Klug for De Sede, 1972.

A true icon of 1970s design, the Terrazza DS-1025 sofa was designed by Ubald Klug for the Swiss manufacturer De Sede in 1972. Made in Switzerland, the DS-1025 stands out for its extraordinary sculptural construction. Successive layers of soft, padded leather create a tiered, almost topographical silhouette, giving the sofa an undeniable architectural presence. This particular piece is a very rare version of the DS-1025, particularly sought after in its unusual warm gray/taupe leather. This discreet color beautifully highlights the bold sculptural shape of the sofa, making it an exceptionally distinctive piece. Over time, the leather has developed a beautiful natural patina, with subtle creases and variations that add character and emphasize the quality and softness of the material. The generous proportions, low profile, and fluid lines make the Terrazza both a sculpture and a piece of furniture. Despite its assertive appearance, its deeply padded construction offers the exceptional comfort and quality that De Sede is renowned for. More than fifty years after its creation, the DS-1025 retains remarkable modernity and has established itself as an iconic piece of Swiss design. With its rare configuration and particularly elegant color, this piece represents a unique opportunity for collectors of major 20th-century design pieces.
