Composed of intersecting circles of steel wire, the Normann Copenhagen Coil Pendant Light combines minimalist and maximalist principals to create a pompous yet authentic expression. Legald set out to fill as much volume with as little material as possible, utilising the the coils of wire to create a seemingly infinite shape. The continuous dynamism of the design imbues your living spaces with a sense of motion.
Available in four different sizes, the Coil is suitable for a wide range of different spaces.
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.”
