De Sede
De Sede was founded in 1962 in Kingnau, Switzerland, as a small company specializing in leather upholstery and processing according to artisanal methods to create products of excellence in the field of furniture. Over time, the quality of De Sede allowed it to expand, transforming that small business into a real furniture company with its own products, which soon became true icons of the sector. De Sede has specialized in the production of home furnishings, spanning the various environments in order to ensure widespread comfort and quality. Among the numerous proposals we have sofas, armchairs, chairs, tables, beds and mattresses. It is also possible to purchase some accessories such as bags in different materials. De Sede products are available in the Salvioni multi-brand showrooms in Milan, Como and Lugano.Read more

Designed by

Ueli Berger

Ueli Berger
Ueli Berger (1937–2008) was a Swiss designer and artist best known for creating one of the icons of 1970s design: De Sede’s DS-600 sofa, co-designed with Eleonore Peduzzi-Riva, Heinz Ulrich, and Klaus Vogt. Born into a family of artists—both his father and grandfather were painters—Ueli studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Bern and then worked for several years with designer Hans Eichenberger, who had a major influence on his training. Another crucial figure in his life was his wife, Susi Berger (1938–2019), also active in both art and design, through projects developed together with her husband as well as works pursued independently. His artistic career took off in the 1960s, when he was a member of the “Bern 66” group and also experimented with installations on building façades and in public spaces. His work as a designer was concentrated mainly in the 1970s and, starting from the functionalist theory of “Gute Form,” evolved into freer, more playful creations such as the DS-600 sofa itself. Ueli Berger also taught for several years at the Schule für Gestaltung and at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich.Read more
