DS-167 Upholstered leather day bed

DS-167 - Flexibility Reloaded How is it possible to improve upon an established model that has proved to be a success throughout the world? In the case of the unique DS-164/165 sofa family from designer Hugo de Ruiter, which has long been one of the de Sede flagships, this question needs to be formulated somewhat differently: Is it possible to develop the modular seating system with its popular movable back section to create a sofa that fits perfectly in smaller yet sophisticated spaces? The answer is a resounding yes, as the new DS-167 so eloquently demonstrates.‎ The influence of its predecessor is evident in the sculptural body, whereas the characteristic organic form is lighter, slimmer and more contemporary.‎ Cushions resting lightly on the flexible backrest, softly fashioned quilting and reduced legs in stainless steel complete the picture of a sensual seating design which can be re-arranged at any time to meet the owner’s mood of the moment and which matchlessly embodies the modern lifestyle trend of “homing”.‎ The DS-167 is a genuine original which unites the apparently incompatible values of open-mindedness and homeliness, of strength and grace.‎
