A Cassina design classic that combines clean lines with comfort and timeless appeal.

The “1 FAUTEUIL DOSSIER BASCULANT” by Cassina is more than just a designer armchair. It translates the language of modernism into a piece of furniture that fosters a sense of intimacy. Its low silhouette, open construction and tilting backrest give the body freedom and lend the room a calm, architectural presence.

The armchair was designed in 1928 by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand. It was unveiled at the Salon d’Automne in Paris in 1929, alongside other designs for a new interior style. Cassina has been producing the “1 FAUTEUIL DOSSIER BASCULAN” since 1965, and to this day it stands for precision, craftsmanship and a culture of expertise.

As a Cassina armchair, it combines tubular steel, leather and clean proportions to create a timeless design classic. Whether in the living room, lounge or workspace, it never feels intrusive. It sets the standard for people who consciously design their spaces and see design as part of everyday life.
