de Sede DS-600 13 Element ''Non Stop'' Sectional Sofa by Ueli Berger, Eleanora Peduzzi-Riva & Hans Ulrich, 1970s

Design care of Ueli Berger, Eleanora Peduzzi-Riva & Hans Ulrich. One of Switzerland, de Sede's most iconic and sought after designs. This set is an early example of the DS-600 having been manufactured in Switzerland rather than the USA like some of the more recent vintage examples branding the Stendig tag. Dubbed the "Non Stop" for its ability to perpetually accept new elements. Otherwise, often referred to as the "Snake Sofa".

Consisting of 13 elements, 11 middle elements and two corner/armed elements, this particular leather is ivory or "off white" in colour and almost as good as it gets in terms of wear given its age. Leather is full grain; thick and durable yet soft and supple. de Sede is known for their work with leather having originated as a saddle making atelier. Below is list of what minor deficiencies are present [all pictured]:

• Small patch and fill on the backrest of one of the elements. Negligible from afar.
• Minor tear in one of the leather flanges that connects each element [by zipper and the body by hinge and pin]. Not noticeable when zipped together.
• 2 of the hinge pins are not OEM [currently using a bolt fastener in lieu]. Largely inconspicuous, unless you are lying on the ground and at eye level.
