The Bascule Lowback developed by Studio Œ for Vitra offers a relaxed lounge chair approach, combining a low and welcoming silhouette with great freedom of movement. Unlike the Highback version, its low backrest does not include a headrest, offering a more compact seat while maintaining the characteristic comfort of the collection. Under its generous padding is concealed an innovative toggle mechanism that automatically reacts to weight changes and accompanies body movements with minimal resistance. The Bascule Lowback allows you to move naturally from a vertical position to a deeply tilted, almost horizontal position. Its textile coating fully contributes to its supple and enveloping look. Inspired by techniques from fashion, its cover dresses the structure like a jacket and can be removed to be cleaned or replaced. The various upholstery elements can also be repaired or replaced if necessary. In this configuration, the armchair rests on a lacquered black oak wooden base, which brings a natural and warm touch to the whole. The Bascule Lowback can also be combined with the Ottoman or Bench from the collection to extend comfort and create a set dedicated to relaxation.
