The DS-600 Snake Sofa by de Sede is one of the world’s most iconic modular sofas. Designed by Ueli Berger, Eleonore Peduzzi Riva, Heinz Ulrich and Klaus Vogt, it has redefined contemporary seating since its launch in 1972.
Inspired by the mythical Alpine creature known as the Tatzelwurm, the DS-600 features a flowing, sculptural form that adapts effortlessly to almost any space.
Built from individual upholstered modules, the DS-600 can be configured into straight, curved or circular arrangements. Each section connects with an innovative zip and hinge system, allowing the sofa to grow and evolve over time.
Upholstered in luxurious de Sede leather, every module combines supportive foam with soft down cushioning for exceptional comfort.
Celebrated for over 50 years and once recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s longest sofa, the DS-600 remains a true design icon for contemporary homes, commercial spaces and luxury interiors.
