Know before you buy
The primary distinction lies in the orientation of the crescent moon backrest. The Vega A and Vega B are designed as complementary pieces, with the backrest geometry adjusted to create a unique silhouette for each model.
The Vega A is engineered for structural integrity and balance despite its three-legged base. It is designed to be a stable, functional seating piece suitable for standard dining or occasional use.
To maintain the wood, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Depending on the finish you select—such as oiled or stained—you may need to occasionally re-apply a wood-specific oil to keep the grain nourished and protected.
Yes, the chair is highly customizable. You can select from fabric groups A through D, which include a wide range of textures and colors to suit your specific design requirements.
