Robert Haussmann for De Sede Pair of Armchairs in Cognac Leather

Robert Haussmann for De Sede, pair of armchairs, model 'RH-304', leather and steel, Switzerland, ca. 1950.

This cantilevered pair of tufted chairs with leather padded armrests is designed by Robert Haussmann for De Sede. The set has a business aesthetic combined with a comfortable seat and back. This set distinguishes itself by means of a high, tall back. The tufted leather chairs have a graphic, abstract feel which is achieved by means of the repetitive pattern that form the aesthetic core of this set of chairs.

De Sede once started as a saddler's workshop in Klingnau, Switzerland. Slowly, the company widened their scope and committed themselves to transforming the best possible leather into seating furniture. In 1965 the family-run business grew into a professional company and their name was De Sede AG. De Sede products are detail-obsessed and are completely made and focused on the people who use them. Therefore, all the DeSede items are made out of the best materials which results in durability and comfort.
