Mid-century furniture by De Sede (Switzerland)

Swiss furniture manufacturer De Sede was founded in 1965 in Klingnau, Switzerland. The company has its origins in a small saddler's workshop that was established in 1890. The original workshop specialized in making high-quality leather goods, and this tradition of craftsmanship has been carried on by de Sede ever since.

In its early years, de Sede focused on making traditional leather furniture, such as saddles and riding boots. However, Haussener soon recognized the potential for creating high-end leather furniture that combined Swiss craftsmanship with contemporary design sensibilities.

De Sede quickly gained a reputation for its expertise in leather craftsmanship. The company sourced top-quality hides and employed skilled artisans who handcrafted each piece of furniture with meticulous attention to detail. This commitment to quality and craftsmanship set De Sede apart from other furniture manufacturers.

De Sede's mid-century modern furniture is characterized by its clean lines, more... simple forms, and use of high-quality materials. The company has worked with some of the world's leading designers, including Ubald Klug, Luigi Colani, Robert Haussmann, Ueli Berger, Hans Eichenberger, and Santiago Calatrava, to create iconic pieces of furniture that are still in demand today.

In addition to its mid-century modern furniture, de Sede also produces a range of contemporary and classic furniture. The company's commitment to quality and craftsmanship is evident in all of its products, and de Sede is considered to be one of the leading manufacturers of leather furniture in the world. less...
