Pair of Robert Haussmann for De Sede ‘DS-201’ Armchairs in Leather – Iconic 1957 Design, Completely Original Condition

These striking armchairs were designed by renowned Swiss architect and designer Robert Haussmann for the prestigious Swiss furniture maker de Sede in 1957. The ‘DS-201′ model features Haussmann’s iconic cube-like form, which has become a classic mid-century modern design.

Crafted in Switzerland in the 1960s, the chairs boast Haussmann’s signature sculptural aesthetic. The gently curving, geometric backrests and seats envelop users in superb comfort and exceptional support. Importantly, the seat rests on a cantilever, heavy chrome base that gives the units a more open and transparent visual appeal.

The solid steel frames finished in gleaming chrome beautifully complement the rich Brown chestnut leather upholstery. Remarkably, this pair of armchairs is presented in completely original, unrestored condition, offering a rare glimpse into the chairs’ authentic Mid-Century origins.

Every detail, from the chrome finishes to the supple, beautifully patinated leather, is a testament to the exceptional quality and enduring design of these iconic pieces. These armchairs exemplify Haussmann’s mastery of form and materials, striking a perfect balance between modern, cubic styling and ergonomic functionality.

The ‘DS-201’ is a testament to de Sede’s commitment to exceptional Swiss craftsmanship and design. This quality pair would be a striking, iconic centerpiece in any contemporary or mid-century inspired interior. Don’t miss the opportunity to own these completely original Robert Haussmann design classics from period.

This pair boast the DeSede ‘Exclusiv’ makers mark which denotes that these were a special order, most likely due to the quality/grade of the leather.

They are in very good original condition, some wear marks to the leather and a lovely overall patina, we have purposely not restored the leather to keep its authentic colour and look.  The chrome bases are in good order, a few small areas of loss where the chrome has worn but overall they are in excellent order.

Seat Height: 17″ / 43cm
