Easy chair BASCULE HIGHBACK Iroko Cream VITRA

Following the movement of the body rather than imposing a position on it is the whole principle of Bascule Highback, developed by Studio Πfor Vitra. With its generously padded volumes and casual allure, this armchair revisits the lounge chair by favoring a particularly free and intuitive sitting experience. Concealed under the padding, its toggle mechanism reacts directly to changes in user weight and accompanies each movement with minimal resistance. The Bascule Highback thus moves naturally from an upright position to a deeply tilted, almost horizontal, posture without requiring any manual adjustment. In this Highback version, the backrest is extended by a built-in headrest, designed to comfortably support the head and neck when reclining. The work on the upholstery fully participates in the design of the armchair. To develop it, Studio Πdrew inspiration from fashion-inspired tailoring techniques. The cover thus envelops the structure like a carefully fitted garment and can be removed for cleaning or replacement. The various padding elements are also designed without glue or adhesive to facilitate their repair or replacement if necessary. In this configuration, the Bascule Highback rests on a wooden base, which adds a warm touch to its contemporary silhouette. Designed for both residential and professional spaces, this armchair combines freedom of movement, generous comfort and design quality.
