Simon Legald’s flair for design is evident in the beautiful curves and unobtrusive aesthetics of the Normann Copenhagen Form Bar Armchair - Steel Base. The rounded plastic shell transitions harmoniously into the straight steel legs, made seamless by the specially designed connectors. The seat perfectly mirrors the contours of the body, with armrests providing additional support, ideal for sitting for long periods when dining and socialising with friends and family. Part of the Normann Copenhagen Form collection, winner of the 216 German Design Award.
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.”
