DS-80 Daybed De Sede — Cognac Patchwork Leather, Switzerland 1970s

Discover this iconic DS-80 daybed by De Sede, produced in Switzerland during the 1970s. Upholstered in the manufacturer’s celebrated cognac patchwork leather, this piece perfectly captures the uncompromising craftsmanship and relaxed luxury for which De Sede became internationally renowned. The DS-80 is distinguished by its sculptural low profile, generous proportions and beautifully hand-patched leather upholstery. The characteristic patchwork construction was introduced by De Sede in the early 1970s as an innovative way to make use of premium leather offcuts, creating a distinctive quilted surface in which every piece is unique. Resting on its original black lacquered slatted wooden base, the daybed offers exceptional comfort while the thick aniline leather has developed a rich caramel patina through decades of careful use. The natural variations in tone, gentle creasing and signs of wear give the piece an authenticity that only genuine vintage De Sede leather can achieve. A timeless Swiss design classic, ideal as a luxurious daybed or as a striking focal point in any thoughtfully curated interior.
