A miracle of brilliant technical inspiration
Designer Thomas Althaus updated the original developed by Reto Frigg in 1985, lovingly perfecting it with sophisticated technology, down to the tiniest details. An improved mechanism and a reinterpreted look add fresh momentum to this futuristic quick-change artist.
German designer Thomas Althaus demonstrates creative versatility in this reduction to the bare essentials: the furniture world does not need all sorts of bric-a-brac and frills; it needs
functional pieces that serve the cause at hand. The DS-450 sofa adapts perfectly to a very wide variety of furnishing styles and contributes to a perfect overall picture. Like DS-490,
the DS-450 also impresses with its very simple handling that can be used to change the function of the piece of furniture.
The backrest elements can be adjusted individually and set backwards at different tilting angles. The soft upholstery elements that end in fold-up armrests on the sides, inviting people not just to sit but also to lift off – thanks to sophisticated technology, all it takes is two flicks of the wrist to convert DS-450 into a recliner.
No wonder this model has become a bestseller for our Swiss manufacture in a very short period of time.
