The work of BassamFellows introduces elegance and charm into just about any space. The celebrated design firm’s minimalist stools, armchairs and other seating pieces — typically made of oak, walnut or ash — are defined by the clean lines and alluring organic forms associated with the best of mid-century modernism.
Bassam Fellows, which is focused on furniture and product design, architectural projects and branding, is the result of a collaboration between Australian architect Craig Bassam and American entrepreneur Scott Fellows. Fellows, whose career included partnerships with the likes of Ferragamo and Corning Housewares, began to work with Bassam when it became clear that the pair shared similar creative visions as to the look, feel and quality of furniture and interior design. (The duo owns a Philip Johnson-designed home not far from the Glass House, a modernist marvel designed by Johnson in Connecticut.)
BassamFellows became an immediate hit among designers and decorators at the 2003 Salone del Mobile in Milan with the debut of their quintessential Tractor stool, a sculptural stool designed by Craig that draws on Swiss metal tractor seats and is made from locally harvested solid wood.
Bassam serves as the company's chief designer, while Fellows operates as the company's creative director, bringing expertise in commerce and brand strategy to the table. Together, the team has created furniture in their “Craftsman Modern” style for clients such as Geiger and Herman Miller, and has developed working relationships with leading architects, branding professionals, artisans and designers all over the world.

Alessandro Becchi Grey Leather “Anfibio” Three Seater Sofa for Giovannetti, 1972
By Alessandro Becchi, Giovannetti
Located in Vicenza, IT
Anfibio sofa-bed by Alessandro Becchi for Giovannetti, 1972. Fully restored and upholstered with high-quality grey Italian natural leather. Mattress upholstered with soft sheepskin wool. The Anfibio sofa ranks among the most outstanding cult products of Italian design. It is innovative, original, and highly functional; it is a revolutionary sofa-bed, a symbol of high quality and sapient artisanry. It is possible to find it in the permanent collection of 13 museums worldwide, among which the MoMa in New York, since 1972. Alessandro Becchi designed the “Anfibio” sofa for the Italian manufacturer Giovannetti in 1970. It is characterized by generous dimensions and soft, embracing shapes that invite relaxation and comfort. It reminds a floating dinghy thanks to its lack of rigid mechanism. This feature inspired its name, which means amphibious. Furthermore, the sofa presents a rectangular steel structure and padding in non-deformable high-density polyurethane, covered with acrylic thermo-welded fibers and protective fabric. The Anfibio sofa by Giovannetti is available covered in leather or fabric and several colors. This artwork is the ideal convertible solution, the perfect combination of aesthetic research and innovative household living. Alessandro Becchi was born in Florence in 1946. He studied at ISIA in his hometown, and in the late 60s, he began his career as a designer. In 1970 he designed the revolutionary Anfibio sofa for Giovannetti. In 1972, thanks to the success of Anfibio, he was invited to the exhibition “Italy: the New Domestic Landscape” at the Museum of Modern Arts in New York. This date opens in close collaboration with Giovannetti. He designed a series of sofa-beds, such as Only You, Brando, Diletto, and the famous armchairs Le Bugie...
