The Brutus is intended to look more cut than constructed, as if it has been weathered naturally over time and then manipulated into a single sculptural element. Both the Armchair and Armless versions possess certain aspects of the muscular vernacular of their Brutalist roots, but add smoothness and lightness. The option of Vienna caning on the seat pays homage to some of our favorite designs from the 1950s, while the upholstered version has a butter-soft leather pad with suspension webbing for maximum comfort. Each Brutus features the same style of elliptical legs which appear broad from one perspective, remarkably thin from another – similar to a shark’s fin.

BRAND HIGHLIGHT
The duo’s work spans architectural projects and interiors, but it is their furniture that caught the eye of Staffan Tollgård and which is available through Tollgard’s London showrooms.Bassam Fellows’ Geometric Series celebrates the sublimity of pure geometry, as championed by the Wiener Werkstätte and the Bauhaus. A hero of the series and a modernist staple, the CB-41 Daybed is meticulously crafted in solid wood and features cushions hand-stitched from butter-soft Scandinavian leather. This is a piece that will age beautifully; destined to become a true future heirloom.The Brutus Chair, launched in Milan in 2020, came to designer Craig Bassam in a dream. Seemingly ‘cut’ rather than ‘built, it expertly marries the Brutalist tendencies of Le Corbusier et al with a contemporary, organic smoothness. A gently curving solid wood frame supports a seat in either Vienna cane or hand-stitched upholstery upon impossibly smooth elliptical legs. A masterpiece of furniture design.Please contact our showrooms if there is a particular piece you are interested in, as we update our displays regularly.
