Manufacturer: de Sede Design: Ueli Berger (1937-2008) Model: DS80 Condition: The frame shows slight color wear. The leather has two small blemishes in the folds on the upper back. Description Ulrich Christian "Ueli" Berger was a Swiss artist, product designer, and interior architect. He also taught at ETH Zurich and the École cantonale d’art du Valais in Sierre. Together with his wife, Susi Berger-Wayss, he formed the artist and designer duo known as Susi and Ueli Berger. Their creative partnership had a lasting impact on Swiss art and design.

The Berger duo strived to combine creativity, innovation, and functionality. In furniture design, they followed the credo: "Only a new idea justifies a new piece of furniture." Berger's DS80 by de Sede perfectly embodies this design ethos: a sleek and elegant lounge chair paired with a playful, artistic approach. The piece is a prime example of modernist design with understated elegance.

Eilers Interieur

Our selection includes carefully selected design classics from the 20th century. We offer a wide range of international period furniture from the great designers of that era. Our stylistically diverse portfolio includes exclusively licensed originals. The majority of our selection is largely in its original condition, but sophisticated restorations are also part of our repertoire. Our restorers pay particular attention to staying as close as possible to the original design.

The chocolate leather tells its story immediately through decades of careful aging. This DS80 showcases Ueli Berger's mastery of cantilever construction, where dark walnut meets precisely channeled upholstery. The X-frame base demonstrates Swiss engineering at its finest. Each vertical channel remains crisp despite the natural patina. The leather shows honest wear - two small blemishes on the upper back fold, frame displaying subtle color variations that authenticate its vintage status. Berger designed this mid century modern armchair for de Sede during their golden period of the 1970s. The mortise joints remain tight, testament to original Swiss craftsmanship. This piece carries authentic provenance from Switzerland's design renaissance.

Collectors recognize the DS80 as Berger's response to Bauhaus functionalism with added comfort. The floating seat design influenced countless interpretations but few matched this original's precision. Minor condition notes actually enhance authenticity for serious vintage enthusiasts. This mid century modern armchair appeals to those who appreciate engineering over decoration. The Oblist sources pieces like this for collectors who understand that true vintage carries its history proudly. Contemporary reproductions lack this leather's character and the frame's honest aging. Perfect for spaces that demand both comfort and design credibility.
