Since debuting at the Milan furniture fair in 2003, the BassamFellows Tractor Stool has become a bona fide modern icon. From the outset, it has proven to be a piece of infinite variety and its versatility is evident in the sheer number of spaces in which it appears. It’s the rare piece of contemporary furniture – equal parts purpose and presentation - that exudes timelessness and ineffable contemporary cool. The dynamic form of the object – a kind of luxurious reimagining of the prosaic workman’s footstool - evokes a warm, organic feel that symbolizes nature and invites interaction. The stool’s shape is directly influenced by the precise ergonomics of a Swiss tractor seat. Carved from a piece of sustainably harvested solid wood using CNC technology, the stools are then hand-finished by expert cabinetmakers. The stool is elegant yet informal, and supremely comfortable.
