The gentle curves of the table’s cylindrical, cast iron pedestal base, mirror the style of the accompanying Allez Chair. In designing the Normann Copenhagen Outdoor Allez Table, Simon Legald has evoked the style of traditional French bistro furniture, a modern reinterpretation of a timeless design classic. The creative use of wood and stainless steel form an iconic design, able to integrate seamlessly into any environment, creating space for intimate conversations and a comfortable experience. 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.”
