A set of three DS-31 lounge chairs by De Sede, produced in Switzerland during the 1970s. The group comprises two low-back armchairs and a high-back version with integrated padded headrest, all supported on the characteristic four-star polished aluminium swivel bases.
The DS-31 is distinguished by its slender supporting shell and substantial leather upholstery, with broad rolled armrests and hand-laced strap seams running around the cushion edges. De Sede continues to identify the DS-31 as one of the classics of its production, emphasizing precisely these hand-stitched seams and characteristic armrests as defining features of the design.
The dark brown leather retains attractive age-related patination and natural creasing. As part of a previous restoration, the seats and armrests have been professionally reupholstered in new Italian natural leather, while substantial areas of the original leather have been retained, preserving the vintage character of the set.
Condition
Good vintage condition with visible age-related patina and wear to the original leather, including creasing, rubbing, colour variation and surface marks, particularly to the rear panels and edges. The seats and armrests have been professionally reupholstered in new Italian natural leather. The polished aluminium bases show surface wear, oxidation and marks consistent with age and use. Structurally sound. Please refer closely to the photographs.
