BASSAMFELLOWS
A little over ten years ago architect Craig Bassam and creative director Scott Fellows began drafting their vision for a new kind of American luxury company. A genuine, fully integrated lifestyle brand stemming from their shared aesthetic sensibilities, it would encompass architectural projects and interiors as well as impeccably crafted furniture, lifestyle objects and personal accessories.
BassamFellows’ pioneering Craftsman Modern aesthetic, which marries architectural authority with a minimal-artisanal philosophy, was introduced with the debut of the iconic BassamFellows Tractor Stool at the 2003 Salone del Mobile in Milan. From its inception, the company has focused on building relationships with some of the world’s leading craftspeople, whilst forging innovative and intelligent collaborations across the worlds of architecture, branding and design.
The BassamFellows Journal was launched to celebrate this lifestyle vision, chronicling everything from new architecture to brand collaborations. Timely and highly curated, yet fundamentally anti-disposable in its aesthetic, the BassamFellows Journal will feature world class editorial content on inspirational lifestyle and design subjects as well as features on BassamFellows projects.

The BassamFellows Tractor Stool artfully marries two disparate aesthetics: the rigorous authority of architecture and the honest, humanistic character of the handmade.
