Description Ulrich Christian « Ueli » Berger was a Swiss artist, product designer, and interior architect. He also taught at ETH Zurich and the École cantonale d’art du Valais in Sierre. Together with his wife, Susi Berger-Wayss, he formed the artist and designer duo known as Susi and Ueli Berger. Their creative partnership had a lasting impact on Swiss art and design.

The Berger duo strived to combine creativity, innovation, and functionality. In furniture design, they followed the credo: « Only a new idea justifies a new piece of furniture. » Berger’s DS80 by de Sede perfectly embodies this design ethos: a sleek and elegant lounge chair paired with a playful, artistic approach. The piece is a prime example of modernist design with understated elegance.
