De Sede DS-47 bullhide leather sofa, Switzerland, 1970s

This iconic De Sede DS-47 loveseat features a distinctive sculptural presence, crafted from 5 mm thick natural neck leather (nappa leather). The characteristic mast folds and rich patina highlight the exceptional Swiss craftsmanship for which De Sede is renowned worldwide. During production, the neck leather is applied in one continuous piece across all surfaces, inside and out, enhancing both durability and visual impact. A defining feature of the DS-47 is its extendable seat, which slides out for added comfort. The sofa is in excellent condition, with only light signs of age and use consistent with its vintage character.
