今天要介绍的是由美国设计师团队BassamFellows设计的Tractor Stool。他们希望能够一改现代主义那种太过冰冷，太过商业化的特质，重新定义现代主义。Craig Bassam发现荷兰路边的椅子十分舒适，尽管没有椅背，但却可以让人座得笔直。他由这种奇妙的人体工学结构设计了这款Tractor Stool。整个团队希望不给凳子喷漆或上色，使得每只凳子都带有独一无二的木色花纹，也为制造椅子的工匠免去了有毒的喷漆步骤，带来了健康环保工作环境。
Craig Bassam was working on a project in Switzerland when he found a tractor seat on the side of the road. He was impressed by how the seat allowed him to sit in an upright, ergonomic position without the aid of a chair back, but unlike the metal seat that he found, he wanted to create this type of seat in wood. Bassam’s Tractor Stool is carved out of a massive block of sustainably sourced ash or walnut, the quality of which is in the top 10% of premium woods. No stains are ever used, and because of the natural variations in wood, every Tractor Stool is unique. Each is finished by hand with a wipe-on oil and sealer product; by not using spray booths, BassamFellows maintains a healthy work environment for its artisans.
