Description
A striking vintage De Sede DS-35 executive swivel armchair, dating from approximately the 1960s and manufactured in Switzerland.
Renowned for its exceptional leather craftsmanship, Swiss furniture maker De Sede produced some of the most distinctive upholstered furniture of the mid-century modern period.
This original DS-35 chair features generously proportioned black leather upholstery, broad padded armrests and distinctive decorative whipstitch detailing along the edges.
The substantial upholstered seat and backrest are supported by a polished aluminium four-star swivel base, giving the chair a distinctive combination of luxurious comfort and restrained modernist design.
Design and construction
The chair’s beautifully upholstered leather cushions, broad armrests and low-profile swivel base reflect the quality of traditional Swiss furniture craftsmanship.
The DS-35 makes an impressive executive desk chair, study armchair or statement piece for a contemporary interior.
Condition
The chair retains its black leather upholstery, with visible creasing and surface wear consistent with its age and use.
The photographs show the leather’s existing patina and condition, particularly around the armrests and seat.
