The Normann Copenhagen Circus Pouf is a modern interpretation of a classic design, combining Simon Legald’s signature brand of Danish minimalism with the classic form of the antique Moroccan pouf. Despite the inherent contradictions in the design, Legald and Normann Copenhagen have created a simple object that maintains a soft and inviting expression.
The pouf is a versatile piece, perfect for surprise guests or as a decorative seat in your bedroom. The velour upholstery and highly saturated colour palate adds depth, warmth and texture to your interiors.

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.”
