Ds-800

DS-800 is a round leather coffee table. Ubald Klug created one of the icons for de Sede: DS 1025, better known as “Terrazza,” in which, depending on the arrangement, multiple sofas can be combined to form either a mountain or a valley of upholstered leather. Permeating the work by this Zurich-born architect and designer who has lived in Paris since 1966 and once also worked as a sculptor, is the constant search and fresh discovery of appearances. This is also how DS-800 came into being for de Sede in the 1970s: a modular seating group with consummate functionality and tremendous esthetics: a creative response to our need to relax and a statement of home decor, that has now been redesigned to combine geometric motifs with ornamental references. Whether as a single-seater or a seating group of combinable elements, DS-800 acts as an inviting, protective hand. With a seating surface that rotates 360° and a flexible backrest element, de Sede has developed DS-800 into a unique sculpture: a masterful revival thoroughly steeped in the philosophy of living tradition. Craftsmanship meets design Created as an open inviting hand, the redesign of DS-800 by Ubald Klug is a timelessly beautiful retro classic with a sculptural appearance that invites to inspiration and creativity. With its hidden function of a 360° rotating seat, DS-800 brings momentum to every sitting position while at the same time more than doing justice to its role as an extraordinarily comfortable armchair. Whether as a single-seater or as an endlessly combinable seating group, DS-800 can be smoothly integrated into the room. In addition to the armchair, stool and table elements are available as well and can be integrated into the seating groups.
