The Wood Frame collection by BassamFellows was originally conceived as a series of lounge pieces, inspired by the glass house nature of their Connecticut residence. Designer Craig Bassam wanted to create seating that looked immaculate from any angle - deconstructing the bulkiness of traditional lounge seating by exposing the structural wood frame and elevating it to fine cabinetry. The Modernist grid creates a distinctive side profile and back view: outer corners are softly rounded, and the exposed rear frame becomes both a handle to manoeuvre the chair, and a natural place to hang a jacket or sweater. The backrest is structured but flexible, with a slender profile. Cushions are slimmed as much as possible without sacrificing comfort, and lightly tufted for a distinctly tailored appearance. The Wood Frame collection comprises a chair, lounge chair, ottoman, and stool, and is available in several timber and upholstery finishes.
