Uncomplicated and straightforward, the Normann Copenhagen Redo Two Seater Modular Sofa is a striking example of contemporary design. Flexible and multi-functional, the sofa has been designed with adaptability in mind, allowing you to re-configure the design to meet the ever-changing needs of your space.
At the heart of Legald’s process is a desire to solve the challenge of moving homes. Furniture that worked in one space may not be as well-suited to another, so in designing the Redo, he has created an extremely versatile piece of modular design.
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.”
