The cylindrical, cast iron pedestal base of the Normann Copenhagen Allez Outdoor Cafe Table - Marble has been designed to mirror the curvature of the accompanying Allez chair. The table takes inspiration from classic French bistro furniture, putting a modern twist on a timeless design. Legald’s reinterpretation is characterised by a creative use of materials, including luxurious marble. The design blends seamlessly into any environment, creating a space to sit with others, catch up and relax. Part of the Allez collection.
Simon Legald studies design at the The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, and will graduate in the Summer of 2012. His work consists of both small- and large scale products.
“Honesty is what makes a product understandable, and is what describes functionality of the products. If you understand the product, it doesn’t need any explanation. The essence of my design is for it to be bought and used. Therefore it has to satisfy not only the functional aspects, but also the psychological- and aesthetic needs. For me simplicity describes the true identity of objects, and makes them trustworthy. In my designs I try not to add any unnecessary details. I work with simplicity by highlighting the necessities instead of hiding them. It gives the product a simple and honest expression.”
