My exquisite De Sede 101 lounge armchairs

Recently I have become the proud and happy owner of two De Sede 101 leather lounge armchairs. I was smitten with them the moment I saw them and bought them on the spur of the moment. They are the epitome of swiss craftmanship like so many other swiss-made things.

They are perfect examples of high quality vintage furniture:
  • They must be at least 25 years old.

  • Back then they were top of the range and De Sede is still a very reputable sofa maker. Check out the Deconet website!

  • The leather upholstery is still in excellent condition: no punctures, no or very little wear and quite thick.

  • Colour: dark brown/maroon.

  • For the movie buffs: these armchairs/sofa feature in the classic 1969 James Bond movie "On her majesty's secret service".

Despite the fact that I'm still madly in love with these armchairs, I've come to realise that my flat is too small (60 m²) for such superb but quite bulky armchairs. Therefore I'm looking for a new home for these masterpieces. If any of you out there are interested, please contact me at wilfried.van.daele@skynet.be

It would be great if they could go to a home worthy of their class.

Note: the chair in the picture above is not mine. But I have exactly the same (two), maroon and in better condition. I will upload my own picture soon.

De Sede 101 was also on the market as a two seater sofa, a three seater sofa and an ottoman.
