The Bascule Lounge Chair pairs the relaxed aesthetic of a loosely fitted fabric cover with an innovative Vitra seat mechanism that offers automatic weight adjustment. The chair follows the body from an upright angle all the way to a deeply reclined, almost horizontal position.

Bascule is the French word for "seesaw". Designed with a cleverly engineered tilt mechanism concealed beneath the padding and cover, Bascule moves with the body and has such a wide range of motion that users can reach a fully reclined position – for unparallelled comfort.

For this extraordinary range of motion, Studio ΠРAnne-Sophie Oberkrome and Lisa Ertel Рdesigned a generously cut cover that drapes over the structure like a jacket. Tailoring techniques from the world of fashion - originally developed for ease of dressing and freedom of movement - have been translated into the chair's design. Fabric covers are available in a wide variety of colours, as well as in duo-tone versions combining two different hues for the inner and outer chair faces.
