Vectis by Eckhard Beger for ArteNemus is an armchair based on a trapezoid and rhombus shaped wood structure with leather cushions. The v-shape and backwards inclination of the structure underlines the dynamic character of the creation. The whole structure is covered in maple veneer with an ebony marquetry while the cushions are made from full grain leather. The front perspective is enriched by a metaphoric and pictorial design on the cushions and the structure, while the sides include a graphic marquetry. Leather stripes and ebony marquetry add to the aesthetic tension of the design.
