DS-600 Snake

An extension of our icon

Named after a mythical alpine creature, the Tatzelwurm, our DS-600 has embodied the de Sede lifestyle for 50 years. With its modular elements that can be expanded to suit every individual taste, it has traveled the world and even found its place in the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s longest sofa.

The DS-600 conquers the world

Launched in 1972, DS-600 is an indestructible, variable modular system of upholstered furniture consisting of individual, addable armchair elements. These consist of an L-shaped hard foam core covered with a leather-covered cushion. The elements are connected with a plug-in hinge and a construction made of hide and zipper. The stool element complements the famous snake-shaped seat with an intermediate and end element.

PINE

Upholstery fabric

80% viscose and 20 % linen

VELOUR

Upholstery fabric


90% cotton, 10% modal


Characteristics


The fabric is produced by embedding an additional thread into a knitted fabric, with the thread forming tiny loops on the surface. These loops are cut open in a further workstep to create the velvety finish. The fine base product gives the fabric a light fall.

VELOUR convinces with a soft feel and a noble appearance: for an individual, exclusive look in your rooms.

MAPLE

Upholstery fabric

81% Viscose, 15% Linen, 4% Polyester

Characteristics

MAPLE is made of three tone-in-tone matched yarns and refined with an aero finish. This results in a particularly soft fabric which is given an unmistakable sheen by the viscose used. Depending on the incidence of light and perspective, the numerous color nuances become visible. MAPLE is woven with a velvety chenille yarn and thereby provides an extremely soft pile which makes the structure of the fabric tangible.

ARCO

Upholstery fabric
