The Bond Villain’s Dream Set: De Sede DS-101 3-Seater Sofa with 2 Matching Ottomans
Welcome to the world of Swiss … more The Bond Villain’s Dream Set: De Sede DS-101 3-Seater Sofa with 2 Matching Ottomans
Welcome to the world of Swiss precision, villainous flair, and—of course—James Bond. This isn't just a sofa; it's the sofa, the one that George Lazenby as 007 himself suavely lounged on in the 1969 Bond classic, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Picture it: Lazenby, casually reclining in style, planning his next move, while Telly Savalas, playing the sinister Blofeld, plots world domination from its matching chair. Now, imagine this icon of both comfort and cinema taking center stage in your home.
The De Sede DS-101 is more than a vintage luxury piece—it’s a slice of movie history. Crafted with all the Swiss precision you’d expect from a brand that started out as a humble saddlery in Klingnau, Switzerland, De Sede quickly became the go-to name in high-end, hand-stitched leather furniture by the 1960s. Known for their obsessive attention to detail and luxurious materials, De Sede’s pieces are beloved by collectors, designers, and those with an eye for the finest things in life. And this DS-101 sofa? Well, it’s no longer in production, which makes it all the more rare and desirable.
Let’s talk craftsmanship—because wow, this piece is in near mint condition. The rich, dark chocolate leather is not just soft; it’s buttery, like the kind of luxury leather that molds to your body and ages beautifully. The hand-stitched baseball-style seams give it a robust yet chic edge, the kind of detail that only Swiss artisans could perfect. And just when you think it’s a typical sofa, you sit—and surprise! The seats are mounted on a clever grid/sled design that lets you recline with ease, making every seat feel like your personal luxury lounge.
Finding one of these three-seaters is hard enough, but one with two matching ottomans?! They’re the perfect companions to the sofa, giving your guests a place to kick up their feet and settle in for the ultimate Bond-style viewing party. Picture it: A dimly lit room, martinis shaken (never stirred), and your friends lounging in total comfort. This set wasn’t just designed to look amazing in a villain’s lair—it’s equally at home in a stylish contemporary living room, a cinema room, or even a swanky library.
The DS-101 isn’t just any sofa; it’s a statement. This was the future of furniture in the 1970s, embodying both sleek modernist aesthetics and unrivaled comfort. And De Sede? They’ve always been innovators. From their early days, the company combined traditional leatherworking skills with bold new designs, and by the 1960s, they’d become icons of the modernist movement, blending form and function in perfect harmony.
But alas, this model has long been discontinued, which means this could be your only chance to snag this exceptional set for your home. A timeless piece that has seen Bond villains and heroes alike, the DS-101 3-seater sofa is truly a collector’s dream. Whether you’re plotting your next global takeover or just binge-watching every Bond film, this set will make you feel like you're living in your very own movie.
This is more than furniture. It’s a ticket to sit where cinematic history was made, and to live like a modern-day Bond villain—with infinitely better taste. less
