Nothing but simple

A spatial epicenter

Design: Patrick Norguet

A piece of design fashion:

The “French touch” in the living room

As Audrey Hepburn once said about the French city of love: “Paris is always a good idea” – the city of love, of art, of fashion. This epicenter is also home to Patrick Norguet’s creative workshop. The French designer belongs to the generation who are making the “French touch” famous on the international stage: this unity of fashion and design is manifested in his collaboration with haute-couture firms such as Dior, Lanvin or Guerlain. For de Sede, he perfected the symbiosis of fashionable extravagance and creative excellence in DS-175 – or, as Norguet refers to his graceful creation: ‘Very simple but very elegant and chic.’ In fact, it is a simple message that turns the sofa into a style icon as a design element – a modern vocabulary of forms of the kind the cosmopolitan city of Paris still offers today.

Belle époque meets French touch

It is the combination of straight contours and proven comfort that makes DS-175 a style icon. The seating surface positioned on a platform and the filigree supports are appealing for their classic simplicity. Inspired by classic elements and modern combinations, this item of furniture has the air of an exciting place of calm in a space, with the ambition of serving as a timeless icon of style at all times.
