About This Piece

Vintage Design

A beautiful example of the iconic DS 101 "James Bond" sofa by de Sede. Featured in the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, it immediately became synonymous with style and comfort, thanks to its reclining mechanism, which was unique for those years. The sofa is made of wood and aniline leather, with magnificent padding and unalterable mechanisms. The seats recline easily and return smoothly to their original position. Like its twin, this example has a beautiful patina, the leather is taut and compact but very comfortable, and the mechanisms are perfect. The color is a beautiful dark brown tending towards black, with a slight patina that adds to its charm.

About the Maker

de Sede

Like many luxury leather goods brands, furniture-manufacturing company de Sede started out as a saddle-making atelier. Based in Klingnau—located in northern Switzerland near the German border—the company traces its high-end furniture production back to 1965, when the original family-run business incorporated and began to collaborate with international designers on the creation of handmade, premium-leather-clad chairs, lounges, and sofas. Over the years, de Sede’s product offering has expanded to include tables, beds, and more.

Generous proportions balanced by sleek silhouettes characterize de Sede furniture. The top quality craftsmanship means each piece has been built to last.

As of this writing, according to the company’s current facts and figures, de Sede AG produces more than 11,000 pieces of furniture each year, of which 70% is exported and distributed in over 40 countries; and, on a production area of 11,000 m2, it processes around 32,000 m2 of top-quality leather each year.
