In the lowback version, the Bascule lounge chair has a compact appearance while still offering excellent comfort.

Bascule combines the relaxed aesthetic of a loosely fitted fabric cover with an innovative seat mechanism allowing a wide range of motion, from an upright angle to a nearly horizontal position. Drawing on tailoring techniques from the world of fashion, originally developed to ensure ease of dressing and freedom of movement, Studio OE designed a cover that wraps around the structure like a jacket.

Designed with a cleverly engineered tilt mechanism concealed beneath the padding and cover, Bascule moves with the body and has such a wide range of motion that users can reach a fully reclined position. The cover is removable, and all elements of Bascule can be repaired or exchanged if needed. Bascule is available with two different bases, and comes in a highback version or as a lowback model. A optional matching ottoman or bench are available and serve as comfortable footrests. The 4-star base is made from die-cast aluminum (either powder-coated or media-blasted) and features 360 degree swivel. Split upholstery is available, please contact Hive for assistance ordering configurations not shown online.
