An armchair for good conversations
13.05.2026
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.
Klybeck Furniture from Basel: a Swiss manufacturer of sustainable design
13.05.2026
Handcrafted wooden furniture from Basel – sustainably made and timeless in design.
At Klybeck, design doesn’t begin on paper, but with the material itself. Every piece takes its cue from the wood – its structure, its warmth, and the possibilities it offers. In Basel, this wood is transformed into furniture and home accessories that exude a sense of calm and will be a part of your life for years to come.
The Swiss furniture manufacturer was founded by Baptiste Ducommun, a trained cabinetmaker and designer. In his workshop, he creates handcrafted wooden furniture that combines clean lines with poetic details. The result is pieces that do not follow fleeting trends, but instead meet the highest standards of quality, precision and durability.
Sustainability is integral to the process at Klybeck. Carefully selected materials, regional suppliers and in-house production ensure short supply chains and a direct link to the source. In this way, every piece of furniture and accessory becomes a conscious choice in favour of Swiss craftsmanship and timeless living.
