The 1 Fauteuil Dossier Basculant, Outdoor 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 Modulor, a system based on standard human body measurements and a mathematical language inspired by the proportions of universal harmony. Essential and refined, the Fauteuil Dossier Basculant is now also available in an outdoor version, with a special embossed finish in five colours and a dedicated collection of upholstery fabrics.
The slender yet richly detailed structure features exposed springs on the backrest to 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, Outdoor armchair fits naturally into any outdoor space, whether residential or contract, enhancing its sophistication with an iconic and timeless design.
