Emphasising quality craftsmanship and natural materials, Simon Legald has created the Normann Copenhagen Craft Salt & Pepper Mills, expertly combining wood and marble to produce an exceptional piece of kitchenware. Legald prioritises durability and tactility, using a simple, flared shape that fits perfectly in the hand. The use of natural wood and marble adds to the tactility, making these objects an integral part of your kitchen and dining 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.”
