The 1 Fauteuil Dossier Basculant armchair by Cassina is a light and compact seat, designed in 1928 and presented in 1929 at the Salon d'Automne alongside other iconic models. Designed by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, this timeless armchair is the result of an in-depth study of body posture and, in this specific case, is intended as the ideal support for relaxed sitting, designed to encourage conversation.
The balance between form and function is based on the use of the Modulor, a system based on the standard measurements of the human body and a mathematical language inspired by the proportions of universal harmony. Essential and refined, the Fauteuil Dossier Basculant consists of a tubular steel frame, available with a polished chrome or painted finish, and a self-supporting leather, fur or hide covering that defines the seat.
The slender yet richly detailed structure features exposed springs on the back of the backrest that help support the body, and armrests made from a single strip of leather stretched between the legs, in a gesture of elegant simplicity.
Thanks to its perfect compositional synthesis and formal versatility, the Cassina 1 Fauteuil Dossier Basculant armchair is available in three versions. It fits naturally into both residential and contract settings, enhancing the sophistication of the space with its iconic and timeless design.
