New Furniture for Hodgson House | BassamFellows

This Philip Johnson landmark was restored by BassamFellows in a multi-year restoration project that also integrated their modern furniture products into its new life, projected to preserve it for the next 70 years.

The Hodgson House, in rural-residential western New Canaan, is a single-story steel-frame structure, with a plan that echoes Pompeian and Miesian architecture, with a foyer that connects on an axis to the glass enclosed courtyard surrounded by the living areas in the first section, built on a U-shaped plan around a glazed court, with a secondary axis that connects to the bedroom pavilion, added in 1955.

The restoration integrated the Bassam Fellows Daybed, the Mantis Chairs, the Pebble Lounge Armchair, the Lounge Chair, and the Plank Occasional Table.

The central block was built between 1950 and 1951, while the bedroom wing was added between 1955. It was made for the family of engineer Richard Hodgson. Placed on a knoll within a property composed of woods and grass fields, it has a single story with a flat roof, built on brick and glass walls. The house is finished in blue-gray cobalt spot brick and glass, with only wooden fascia.
