Beauty is in the details An unusual and effective dynamic is created when traditional leather craftsmanship and a playful, experimental approach to design come together. Sweeping wave-like forms characterise the DS-808, designed by atelier oï, which makes the furniture particularly appealing and expressive. Its sinuous form pushes the boundaries of materials design and is created by placing the leather onto a curved structure like a throw, which creates a sophisticated interplay of light and shadow. The flowing design of the furniture creates an especially original and authentic look – allowing it to express itself in a unique, autonomous and refreshingly different way. 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 topclass 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. 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 manner – 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.
