Architect Craig Bassam and creative director Scott Fellows merged their respective talents in 2003 to launch BassamFellows, a unique lifestyle brand that encompasses architectural and interior projects, furniture, lifestyle products, and personal accessories. They’ve spent more than a decade steadily amassing one of the most visually astonishing portfolios in each genre they’ve entered (remember this jaw-dropping mid-century renovation"), all filed under the Craftsman Modern aesthetic. In 2010, the pair became creative directors for Herman Miller’s Specialty and Consumer Businesses, which included Geiger, Geiger Textiles, and the Herman Miller Collection, until 2013. They’ve continued to design for Herman Miller and most recently they launched two textile collections, Brighton and Solene, for Geiger Textiles. It’s no surprise the two chose stunning, design-focused places and things for their Friday Five. Take a look. Photo by Tom Ferguson
