SDe Sede DS-125 Sofa by Gert Lange in cognac leather, Switzerland, 1980s

Exceptional and very sculptural DS-125 sofa by Gert Lange for De Sede, Switzerland, from the 1980s. This iconic model illustrates De Sede's mastery in leather craftsmanship and architectural form. The sofa features a spectacular bent leather shell, with thick and supple aniline leather forming the armrests, sides, and base in a single continuous gesture. The generously proportioned seat and integrated backrest are framed by the sculptural leather structure, creating a bold yet refined silhouette. Upholstered in its original brown cognac Swiss aniline leather, the surface shows a beautiful even patina developed over the decades, highlighting the natural character and quality of the hide. The leather remains supple and structurally sound, with no major loss, reflecting careful use and preservation.
