DS-808 Onda

Collection: DS-808

Category: Sofas and armchairs

An unusual dynamic is created when traditional leather craftsmanship and an experimental approach to design come together. Sweeping wave-like forms characterise the DS-808, designed by atelier oï, which makes the collection appealing and expressive.

When leather, light and design are at play

Product description

The works, installations and room concepts created by atelier oï never cease to amaze. The unusual designs provide a sense of the key areas that the design collective has worked on over several decades: materials, form and light. The collective’s way of working resembles that of a top-class chef, who uses experimental methods with exactly the right touch. The designers succeeded in developing their very own design language, which is nourished by a love of authentic materials and artisan skills.

Production process

When it came to developing the DS-808 for de Sede, this sensitive approach – with its focus on fully understanding the material – proved to be extremely valuable. While working with leather in a practical way, the designers found a way to push the boundaries of the material in a playful way – and to clearly place the unmistakable hallmarks of classic leather design in the here and now.

The leather is laid over the structure like a throw. The end of each square pouffe forms a dynamic wave, which makes the heavy material appear fluid and light.

The convex and concave lines allow infinite, sinuous seating arrangements to be created in a modular way – side tables, too, are at home within the softly undulating structure. With or without backrests, in a group or as a solo performer, the DS-808 and its dynamic topography create a wave of delight in any setting.

DS-705 London

Design and comfort go arm in arm in a very appealing way in the DS-705 by Philippe Malouin. The way the armrests are folded inwards creates a very bold design statement.
