BCU Bascule Highback by Vitra

The Vitra Lounge Chair Bascule Highback by Studio OE combines masterful craftsmanship with groundbreaking ergonomics. Its mechanism, concealed within the chair, responds seamlessly to your weight shifts, providing maximum comfort—from an upright sitting position to an almost horizontal reclining position.

Inspired by the world of fashion: The design duo Studio OE relies on refined tailoring techniques, ensuring that the generous fabric cover fits over the frame like a perfectly tailored jacket and offers unrestricted freedom of movement. In addition to its cozy appeal, the Bascule also impresses with a well-thought-out sustainability concept: The cover can be easily removed for hassle-free cleaning, and all components are repairable or replaceable if service is needed.

Equipped with an integrated, adjustable neck pillow, the highback can be configured to your liking with a swiveling aluminum four-star base.

Note

The soft upholstery and loose cover create creases. The formation of ripples (seat mirror) and the outlining of cushion chambers is characteristic of high-quality, soft upholstery in combination with a removable cover and can be more or less pronounced depending on the cover material selected. To maintain the fullness and shape of cushions, they should be regularly shaken and fluffed.

Care instructions for covers

Note on removable covers: To avoid shrinkage or damage, have the covers professionally cleaned. Do not wash in the washing machine.
