Bassam Fellows Tractor Stool
TRACTOR STOOL
TRACTOR STOOL
Designed by Craig Bassam
Our Tractor Stool, which we debuted in Milan in 2003, is a paradigm of our ‘Craftsman Modern’ vision for design.
Essentially a luxe reimagining of the workman’s footstool, we reinterpreted the ergonomic Swiss tractor seat, using a variety of the highest quality woods – including teak for outdoor settings.
The stools are shaped by a precision CNC carver and finished by expert cabinetmakers, the perfect balance of handcraft and industrial technology.
Available in three different heights, the instant, organic, visual appeal of the Tractor Stool makes it a definitive BassamFellows design.

DETAIL
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.
