Ah, the de Sede DS-164. You're not just asking about a sofa; you're inquiring about a piece of Swiss designed for the art of sitting down. From the venerable house of de Sede, which has been making things impeccably Swiss since 1965, this isn't your average lump of cushions.
The DS-164's main party trick, and it's a good one, is its 360-degree adjustable backrests. This means you and a guest can sit on the same piece of furniture while facing in completely different directions, which is surely the future of interior design and marital harmony. Described as "flexible, elegant, and individually adjustable," it’s the sofa for people who refuse to be pinned down, literally. One moment it's a traditional sofa, the next it’s a chaise lounge for contemplating the ceiling.
This versatile seating sculpture, part of the DS-164 Slide collection, has been spotted in materials from fine leather on a yacht to outdoor fabric, suggesting it's as comfortable with high society as it is with high tide. The whole elegant affair is supported by an aluminum-colored metal base. Just be absolutely certain you want one, as these are individually produced items and returns are excluded. In the world of de Sede, choosing a sofa is a serious commitment.
