Presented for the first time at imm in Cologne in 1976, the exhibition hall began to tremble. The rush was on to get a glimpse of DS-47, made with NECK leather up to five millimeters thick was too great – meanwhile, there was so much interest that the stand had to be closed. The experts were beside themselves: up until then, the conventional wisdom was that this kind of thick leather could not be processed to create upholstered furniture.

The new DS-5010 folding stool designed by Stuttgart-based designer Simon Busse weighs just 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs.). Whether used in a spontaneous morning meeting, an appointment with the customer or a lack of free space in the subway, the new DS-5010 series is an appealing combination of high-quality de Sede leather and sustainable natural materials such as felt. When combined with the folding table to match, working from home is suddenly an option anywhere – agile, lightweight and stylish at the same time.
