Octopia II

Lead DesignersEckhard Beger
Prize(s)Silver in Home Interior Products / Interior Furniture
Entry Description

Octopia II is a table conceptually based on the morphology of an octopus. from the central body four slender legs plunge to the ground while four filigree arms support the glass plate.

Highly figured wood species underline the high-end appearance of Octopia. Furthermore, the contrast between the colours on the surfaces and on the edges underlines the 3 dimensional appearance of this creation by ArteNemus.

Octopia II was awarded a Finalists Award at the 2013 London International Creative Competition.
