This sofa is made of dark brown leather and consists of a 2-seater and 2 single-seat pieces, forming a flexible modular system. It shares similarities with the DS88 sofa from De Sede. The best part is its versatility - the seats can fold open, revealing a hidden mattress, allowing you to turn it into a comfortable bed when needed. A practical solution for accommodating guests or creating extra sleeping space. What makes this sofa unique are the leather straps that hold the leather in place on the seat and backrest, replacing traditional buttons. The back features a metal structure covered in leather. The leather has developed a lovely patina over time, adding to its character. Yet, it remains in excellent condition without any tears or damages. You have the freedom to arrange the sofa according to your preferences, making it customisable to suit your space.
