A boxing glove bean bag by Susiand Ueli Berger for De Sede, Switzerland, circa 1970
The Mini Boxing Glove, designed by Swiss artists Susi & Ueli Berger around 1970, is a playful and distinctive piece of functional art. Manufactured by the renowned Swiss furniture maker de Sede, this unique seating object is crafted in light brown leather, complete with stitching details that mimic the look of an actual boxing glove. The leather’s softness and quality are enhanced with a natural patina over time, while the corded detailing adds authenticity and texture, making it both a comfortable and eye-catching addition to any interior.
Susi and Ueli Berger were known for their innovative approach to furniture design, often creating pieces that blurred the line between art and utility. Their collaboration with de Sede, a brand famous for luxurious leather furniture, brought forth imaginative and unconventional designs. The Mini Boxing Glove captures their humour and originality, embodying the 1970s spirit of experimental and playful design.
