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 wooden base is made from solid oak. Split upholstery is available, please contact Hive for assistance ordering configurations not shown online.
