Craig Bassam is an architect and designer whose career started with Bruce Eeles, a disciple of Marcel Breuer. His partner, Scott Fellows, is a Harvard MBA who transformed the Swiss firm Bally. Together they are BassamFellows, described as “the design world’s A-team” by The Times of London. In 2010, they were commissioned to develop the Tuxedo Collection, a new line of refined seating that complements classic works by Eames, Nelson, and Noguchi. The Mantle Collection (2020) is a modern reimagination of Tuxedo, with a refreshed design marked by visual softness. Crisply tailored upholstery, plush cushions, and solid wood legs complete the aesthetic.
