Craig Bassam designed the Wood Frame Dining Collection to be remarkably
lightweight and sophisticated without interfering with comfort. This was
achieved by reducing the form of the chair to its essence – an exposed
structural fine wood frame that integrates all elements of the chair, connecting
seat, back and arms while creating a ‘caged’ effect. The wood elements
produce the chair’s distinctive side profile and back view, two of the most
important angles of any dining chair when viewed around a table. The outer
corners are softly rounded, a BassamFellows signature, and the exposed rear
frame becomes both a handle to maneuver the chair without touching the
upholstery and a convenient place to hang a jacket or sweater. Cushions have
also been slimmed to the absolute minimum without sacrificing comfort.
The backrest is structural but designed with a non-rigid upper frame to keep
its profile as thin as possible while building in flex for movement.
