De Sede Sofa DS-707

DS-707 Design Philippe Malouin

Visual perfection of form

DS-707 is a collection by Philippe Malouin for De Sede. DS-707 sofa and armchair have substructure made of sheet materials and foam structure. Seat, back and sides with Sedex upholstery. Connector for the connection of the elements already pre-assembled.

The DS-707 is the modern composition of handmade leather and contemporary design.

The flowing, soft transitions combine the postmodern era of Swiss furniture design with the clear, open structures of brutalism that inspired designer Philippe Malouin.

Available as a comfortable armchair or as a modular sofa that can be combined in infinite ways, the DS-707 is the visual perfection of form that gives every room a unique highlight.

Designed in the style of brutalism, recounting the unruly origins of modern esthetics and dedicated to the sustainable use of materials, this sculpture is now also available with a corner element that additionally accentuates the powerful silhouette of this leather furniture and permits additional, flowing interior designs.

Visual perfection

Created as a cozy yet modular armchair for combinations that can reach infinite length, this sofa is the visual perfection that makes every room a powerhouse – in the same way that the representatives of brutalism thought that modern industrialized societies needed the most powerful art possible. These societies should “experience a spiritual liberation, be led to see, experience sensuality in lieu of commerce” – this is also echoed in the French word “brut,” which means not just “raw” but also “honest”. These are two adjectives that have guided craftsmanship at de Sede since its beginnings: the flowing, soft transitions of DS-707 link the post-modern era of Swiss furniture design with the clear, open structures of brutalism.

The DS-707 is a sculptural sofa with an important presence. We are in the multifaceted Montreal skyline, near the St. Lawrence River where a “Habitat 67” residential complex runs in a serpentine manner characterized by the architectural style of brutalism. The designer grew up in this place and was inspired by these shapes throughout his life. DS-707 has a strong personality and imposes itself in the room as an island of well-being for pure relaxation with a contemporary and luxurious aesthetic.
