Description

Vitra's Bascule bench is a versatile companion that fits in all kinds of rooms and situations. Place it in front of the Bascule armchair for a handy footrest, or use the upholstered bench on its own as extra seating in a living room, a spot to change shoes in the hallway, or a soft nest at the foot of the bed. Possibilities are almost endless!

When it comes to longevity, the bench by Berlin design studio Studio Πfollows the same thinking as the rest of the Bascule collection. The fabric cover comes off, and every part of the bench can be repaired or replaced if needed. That proves that the Bascule bench isn't just a pretty face for a season, but a genuinely adaptable piece that keeps going year after year.

Studio Œ

Studio Œ is a Berlin-based design studio founded by two creatives: Lisa Ertel (b. 1990) and Anne-Sophie Oberkrome (b. 1990). Their connection goes beyond their shared birth years – both graduated as designers from the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design in Germany, and they are also co-founders of the FAN collective. In addition, they have been teaching design at Hamburg’s HFBK University since 2022. Studio Œ’s portfolio encompasses a diverse range, from interdisciplinary collective projects to product design and industrial projects for well-known international brands, including the Italian brand Mattiazzi.
