Mid-Century Modern Basculant Sling Chair

The 'Basculant Chair' is based on the 18th Century wooden version, which was originally foldable and used on picnics in the Colonial days. The inspired chair is a study in beauty, form, and function. Its adjustable back and deep, sloping chair cushion let you choose the perfect angle of comfort. A minimalist frame of stainless steel supports the seat and back, adding elegance and classic lines to the piece.

Reproducing the Modernist Icon

In recreating the Basculant Sling Chair, no dimension detail was overlooked. Like the original, this quality reproduction uses materials such as a 3 mm thick Stainless steel frame, 3 mm thick pure Saddle leather, and high strength load-bearing seat platform cross straps, designed to exceed the structure demands of long term daily use.

In 1928, the Sling Chair design was conceived by stripping away all preconceived notions of what an occasional chair should be. Originally designed for an office setting, the clean lines and comfortable timeless appeal ushered its use into residential settings. Remarkably comfortable and ergonomic in design, the chair provides a pitched backward seating angle and pivot adjusting back that customizes itself to your seating form.
