Design Story

Craig Bassam and Scott Fellows found inspiration for Clamshell Conference Chairs in the work of Eero Saarinen. The modernist icon designed furniture and buildings as sculptural wholes, organic forms absent excess decoration. The influence is evident.

Nature-inspired form

Seat and backrest come together like the hinge between a clam's shells. This form provides the design's inherent strength as well as its name.
