Minimalism with character, comfort without excess.

Armchair Basel is a tribute to thoughtful simplicity — a design that whispers instead of shouts. Its clean lines, soft proportions, and intuitive comfort make it an instant classic in modern interiors, while its subtle luxury ensures it never feels utilitarian.

Whether used as a lounge accent, a bedroom retreat, or a sophisticated hospitality seat, Basel offers a perfect equilibrium between calm restraint and lived-in elegance.

Sleek Form, Grounded Comfort

At first glance, Basel’s silhouette reads as minimal — but a closer look reveals a sculptural integrity. The backrest flows seamlessly into its arms, creating a continuous, harmonious shape. The slightly reclined profile invites the body gently, while the solid base keeps the chair visually and physically grounded.

Every angle has been considered. Nothing is excessive. Nothing is missing. Basel is about balance — between lightness and stability, softness and structure.

Crafted to Sit Beautifully

The comfort of Armchair Basel is immediate. A generously cushioned seat with high-resilience foam offers support that adapts to your posture. The upright yet softened backrest is shaped to cradle the spine making Basel perfect for reading, reflection, or relaxed conversation.

Its proportions are intentionally modest, making it an excellent choice for smaller spaces or as part of a layered seating arrangement.

Upholstery That Speaks in Texture

Armchair Basel is available in a curated palette of in-stock fabrics that reflect our commitment to refined materiality. From clean-lined linens and crisp twills to soft velvets and contract-grade bouclé, each textile is selected for performance, tactility, and tone.

Clients seeking something distinct can take advantage of full customisation. Basel can be upholstered in nearly any fabric, and our team offers full COM support, as well as assistance with sourcing and finish pairing.
