BCU Bascule Highback & Ottoman von Vitra

The Vitra Lounge Chair Bascule by Studio OE (2026) combines masterful tailoring with invisible high-tech ergonomics. Its concealed rocking mechanism responds seamlessly to your weight shifts, effortlessly guiding you from an upright sitting position to an almost horizontal relaxation position.

The generous fabric cover hugs the frame like a tailor-made jacket and creates expressive accents in two-tone color combinations or monochromatic shades. The Bascule also impresses when it comes to sustainability: The upholstery design completely eliminates the use of adhesives, relies on separable, highly recyclable materials, and is easy to maintain and repair thanks to the removable cover and individually replaceable components.

Choose your version as a sophisticated high-back chair with a height-adjustable neck cushion, combined with a swiveling aluminum four-star base or warm wood. For the ultimate relaxation experience, the chair can be perfectly complemented with the matching ottoman or bench.

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.
