Exuding Danish design nostalgia, the Normann Copenhagen Herit Armchair combines innovative production methods, with a timeless design. Constructed from solid Oak and plastic, its durable, maintenance-friendly and accessible design is perfect for the contemporary home. Providing the utmost comfort, its curved silhouette is specifically intended to reflect the shape of the body, creating the ideal support when seated.
Ideally utilised around a dining table, in front of a desk or as a stand-alone lounge chair when reading a good book, its condensed aesthetic adapts flawlessly to a range of 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.”
