The DS-1025 Terrazza by De Sede, designed by Ubald Klug in 1974, is a design icon that transforms the concept of seating into a sculptural landscape. Inspired by the natural forms of terraces and hills, this modular sofa consists of two expertly crafted elements that, when joined, create a stepped structure, offering a unique seating experience.
