From Julie:
Architect Jerome Buttrick forwarded us this link to BassamFellows, a collaboration between Craig Bassam and Scott Fellows, devotees of midcentury design. This is how they describe their mission: “We developed our aesthetic by rejecting novelty-driven, mass-produced contemporary design. The result: Simple, enduring designs that celebrate the luxury of craft. The look is graphic and organic.” View the offerings at bassamfellows.com; they have also designed a collection for McGuire; go to kohlerinteriors.com to view. Finally, Troy in Manhattan has just added the line; troysoho.com.
