The Geometric Series from BassamFellows celebrates the sublimity of pure geometry championed by the Wiener Werkstätte and the Bauhaus. In the same way that designers of these two influential schools tested the liberating material properties of bentwood and tubular steel, Bassam refined a set of constraints to spirit cold-rolled tubular steel into forms that hold the horizontal planes of a seat deck or tabletop, achieving the poetic appearance of extreme lightness and suspension. These stately steel scaffolds operate as a connective tissue uniting the furniture’s functional elements in a Gesamtkunstwerk, or total work of art, a synthesis central to BassamFellows’ philosophy of formal and functional coherence in design.
The Geometric’s Daybed’s seat deck is comprised of a Walnut frame with pegged slats engineered to allow for variable flex. The tubular steel base creates a continuous arc that holds leather cushions made of dual-density foam for comfort and support. Leather-upholstered cushioning is precision-crafted to fit securely and snugly within the tubular steel armature. Tufted cushions feature cross-angle seams that radiate from the tuft to align with the posts of the tubular steel structure, a gesture that highlights the design’s overall geometry, linking back to the importance of linearity and architectural draftsmanship inherent in BassamFellows’ work.
