This Original Patinated Cognac Leather DS-15 modular sofa was produced by De Sede in Switzerland during the 1970s. It consists of three individual elements: two curved end sections and one straight middle section, forming a three-seat configuration. The sofa is upholstered in original cognac-colored leather with natural patina developed through use and time. The modular structure allows the elements to be arranged in different compositions, either as a continuous seating line or separated as individual lounge units. De Sede developed the DS-15 series with a focus on ergonomic construction and high-quality leatherwork, manufactured by skilled craftsmen in Klingnau, Switzerland. This model represents the company’s approach to adaptable furniture systems that respond to various interior layouts while maintaining consistent proportions, material continuity, and structural integrity.

Condition

The sofa is upholstered in original cognac leather showing a strong patina developed through use over time. The leather has been cleaned, treated and nourished with a natural beeswax finish to preserve and strengthen its condition. Signs of wear and aging are present. The back of one element has a slightly darker patina than the other two elements due to less exposure to sunlight in their previous home. The seating remains structurally sound and maintains its original comfort level.
