Combining modern materials with traditional Danish design sensibilities, Simon Legald has created a stylish yet unobtrusive seating solution in the Normann Copenhagen Form Bar Chair. The minimalist profile of the steel legs blends harmoniously with the plastic shell. The seat has been shaped to perfectly mirror the contours of the body, allowing you to sit in perfect comfort. The chair’s versatility and simple aesthetics make it ideal for a variety of different settings. Part of the Normann Copenhagen Form collection, winner of the 2016 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.”
