A water-based lacquer is used for the finish.

Duo-tone configurations are only possible in the same fabric (e.g. a combination of two Hola colours). The respective surcharge differs according to the product type (Bascule Highback, Bascule Lowback, Bascule Bench). The ottoman is not available in duo-tone, as it only has one upholstery panel.

Yes, we have put together five moodboards for Bascule, which suggest various material combinations. These can be found in the Factbook.
They are named after fashion-inspired collections and presented in a setting reminiscent of a sewing workshop, thus reflecting Studio Œ’s inspiration and design process. The names and numbers of the fabrics/colours and bases are also listed there.

Just as with an item of clothing, the choice of fabric influences the chair’s look. Thinner fabrics such as Hola and Volo tend to exhibit a larger number of smaller, finer pleats. Thicker fabrics on the other hand such as Iroko 2 show fewer pleats, but these are larger and deeper.

Yes, that’s normal. Before first use, the armrest and backrest padding is slightly more voluminous. The covers are tailored to fit once the upholstery has settled into its final shape.

Bascule has a dynamic look. The varying crease patterns of the individual fabrics and upholstery sections are characteristic of the design. Nevertheless, it is advisable to smooth out the covers and plump up the loose back and armrest cushions from time to time.

The best way to smooth and plump the cover and upholstery is as follows:

• If the cover has worked its way inwards, smooth it back into place
• For the Lowback, smooth the back cover upwards from the crease between the seat and backrest, and pull the collar down at the back
• Straighten the vertical seam at the front edge of the armrest
• If necessary, tuck the lower front corner of the armrest cushion back into the small “pocket” at the bottom of the cover
• Straighten the armrest cushion again (usually by readjusting it outwards)
• Smooth out any creases in the backrest in an outward direction

This procedure is not only suitable for periodic care and maintenance, but also immediately after delivery once the lounge chair has been unpacked and after fitting a new cover.

Two people are required to move the lounge chair. It is advisable to hold it by the metal parts under the armrests – not by the base and under no circumstances by the cover.

This method is also suitable for unpacking the lounge chair from the box after delivery.

The height of the neck cushion can be adjusted by approximately 6 cm using the internal plate. To do so, hold the bottom of the plate and push it upwards. Do not pull on the cover.

The mechanism is activated by the user’s weight. As the weight shifts, the seat moves smoothly and intuitively into a reclining position – without the need for any levers.

The mechanism moves as the user adjusts their weight and remains in balance at any given point. This point may vary depending on the user. The chair does not have a locking lever.

The Lowback has the same mechanism as the Highback and therefore allows for the same range of movement. The extent to which the mechanism is activated depends on the sitting position.

The glides and all covers – neck cushion, backrest, seat, bench and ottoman – are replaceable. Our service team can also replace all components (upholstery elements, mechanism parts, etc.).

Yes, this is possible. A video guide and information on how to order spare parts can be found here.

Yes, it is possible to switch between a metal base and a wooden base and vice versa. And this can be done without replacing the basic frame. The service team is happy to take care of this for our customers.

The lounge chair is available with the four-star base in two seat heights (380 and 430 mm). The ottoman is also available in both height versions (430 and 480 mm). The bench and the lounge chairs with a wooden base are only available in one seat height.

The lounge chair can support a maximum user weight of 125 kg.

Yes, thanks to its comfortable padding, the bench also works wonderfully as a stool and can provide an eye-catching additional seating option in a wide range of interiors.
