1st Dibs
A series with an eye-catching, core leather lacing. This model series’ softly upholstered shell with its extremely comfortable cushions creates an island in the living space. Whether as a sofa, armchair or stool, it invites to relax and to dream. Available as a Recamier sofa and with contours extending to the left or right at the owner’s option, the DS-102 series conveys modern generosity and hospitality. The eye-catching, criss-cross core leather lacing accentuates the appeal of the form.This is about the eternal question between the sexes: who knows better? Who’s right? At De Sede, we know the answer: women! And the backstory goes like this: when launched in 1997, DS-102 was polarizing at its first in-house presentation. Some were totally excited, and others were skeptical. On that very day, an important dealer came to visit - apparently the balance of power, as the retail partner added his vote to the opposition: “There’s no way anyone’s going to buy something like that!” But his wife took a completely different view: she loved the extraordinarily round and feminine form of the piece of furniture. Her persuasion turned her husband around, too, and he became convinced of the exclusive language of design, changed his mind and advocated the launch of the unmistakable DS-102, which has retained its soft and embracing form to this day: sofa, armchair and stool, all made from the same mold.Additional information:Material: LeatherCategory: Naturale - EspressoType: Natural Nappa leatherThickness: 1.5 to 1.7 mmCharacteristics: Unquestionably the most authentic form, a leather possessing all the positive properties of the natural material - exceptionally soft and supple and with an almost silky feel.
