Inspired by iconic mid-century sofa designs, the three-seater Kube Sofa blends a cubistic, almost brutalist exposed wooden frame with soft, rounded cushions - resulting in a sculptural yet welcoming presence. Its stout pine wood planks highlight the material’s natural beauty, enduring strength and the meticulous craftsmanship behind it. True to the nature of wood, the evolving patina gives the piece unique character as years go by.
FSC-certified timber and luxurious upholstery options allow the sofa to complement a variety of interiors, from rustic living rooms to contemporary open-plan spaces. The Kube Sofa balances robust architectural form with inviting comfort, creating a focal point where classic style, tactile appeal and everyday relaxation come together.
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.”
