Cubus and its matching footstool by Eckhard Beger are drawing their influence from the Bauhaus style while reflecting the unpredictability of the beginning new millennium. The asymmetric appearance of the design is conceptually based on two nested cubes whereby the slanted base transitions into a comfortable horizontal seating position. The base is made of wood and painted with lacquer or covered with silver leaf while the cushions are covered with leather or fabric. Cubus geometric and clear outline lends itself to the use of very different color combinations.
Eckhard Beger, born in Geneva, Switzerland, designs contemporary art furniture. His works have been the recipients of renowned international design awards and were exhibited at Museo Poldi Pezzoli in Milan, at Palazzo Michiel during Venice Design in the context of the Architecture and Art Biennials, at PAD and at Artgeneve.
