Brutus Chair
2019
The BassamFellows Brutus chair has its roots in the powerful
Modernist vernacular of Perriand and Jeanneret, but is
softer and visually lighter. It emphasizes certain sculptural
elements, elevating visual aspects evident in much Brutalist
design, but updated with an organic smoothness. It is more
“cut” than it is “built”, and its shape looks like it has been
weathered naturally and then manipulated – the silhouette
of the back suggests a giant shell that has been machined
to create a striking squared-off hole in the center. The back
and seat look like a single sculptural element, the horizontal
and vertical planes meeting with pleasing curves.
