Mid-Century Modern Basculant Sling Chair
Inspired by the 18th-century wooden version used for picnics in Colonial times, the 'Basculant Chair' blends beauty, form, and function. The adjustable back and deep, sloping cushion allow for customized comfort. A minimalist stainless steel frame supports the seat and back, adding classic lines to the piece.
Reproducing the Modernist Icon
Every detail in recreating the Basculant Sling Chair has been meticulously considered. This quality reproduction features a 3 mm thick stainless steel frame, 3 mm thick pure saddle leather, and high-strength load-bearing seat platform cross straps, designed to meet the demands of long-term daily use.
Designed in 1928 by eliminating preconceived notions of occasional chairs, the Sling Chair was initially intended for office settings. Its clean lines and timeless appeal soon made it popular for residential use. The chair offers remarkable comfort with a pitched backward seating angle and pivot-adjusting back that adapts to your seating form.
ABOUT GENUINE SADDLE LEATHER
'Saddle Leather' refers to the thicker, stiffer leather used in 18th-century saddle manufacturing. Unlike typical furniture upholstery leather, saddle leather can hold its form. Similar to a drum skin, it provides both seating comfort and load-bearing qualities when tensioned between two surfaces.
