About This Piece

Vintage Design

An enduring icon of avant-garde furniture design, the DS-600 sectional sofa by Ueli Berger for De Sede, Switzerland (1972), stands as one of the most versatile and recognizable modular seating systems in modern design history. This 7-segment version, upholstered in rich, patinated tan leather, retains all the charm, comfort, and adaptability that have made the DS-600 a cult favorite among designers and collectors alike. Each module consists of a beech wood frame with foam cushioning, covered in high-quality leather that has developed a warm, inviting patina over time. The segments are joined together using a hidden zipper and canvas strap system, allowing for fluid, snake-like curves or straight-line configurations. Whether styled for a sculptural statement or a functional seating solution, the DS-600 adapts seamlessly. The inviting tan leather contrasts handsomely with the dark suede base, enhancing the piece's rhythmic, organic form.

Measuring 325 cm in total length, 100 cm in depth, 75 cm in height, and with a seat height of 39 cm, this configuration provides generous seating while maintaining a visually balanced footprint suitable for a range of interior layouts. Renowned for both its engineering and luxurious feel, the DS-600 was designed to redefine flexibility in lounge seating. It holds a place in the permanent collections of several major museums and remains a cornerstone of De Sede's design legacy. This 7-piece variant is ideal for those seeking the iconic appeal of the full system in a more space-conscious format — perfect for city apartments, studios, or intimate lounge settings. A rare opportunity to own a vintage Swiss modern masterpiece that brings both sculptural beauty and unparalleled comfort to any environment.

About the Maker

de Sede

Like many luxury leather goods brands, furniture-manufacturing company de Sede started out as a saddle-making atelier. Based in Klingnau—located in northern Switzerland near the German border—the company traces its high-end furniture production back to 1965, when the original family-run business incorporated and began to collaborate with international designers on the creation of handmade, premium-leather-clad chairs, lounges, and sofas. Over the years, de Sede’s product offering has expanded to include tables, beds, and more.

Generous proportions balanced by sleek silhouettes characterize de Sede furniture. The top quality craftsmanship means each piece has been built to last.

As of this writing, according to the company’s current facts and figures, de Sede AG produces more than 11,000 pieces of furniture each year, of which 70% is exported and distributed in over 40 countries; and, on a production area of 11,000 m2, it processes around 32,000 m2 of top-quality leather each year.
