Featuring two sliding doors, one with perforated holes, the Kabino Sideboard embodies a contemporary visual elegance. Its soft Ash frame detailing contrasts with its white exterior, whilst its geometric profile combines solid sleek edges with a smooth to the touch finish.
Perfectly utilised as a sideboard in the living room, it makes the perfect TV cabinet due to the built-in cable outlet and its perforated holes, which make it possible to use a remote control even when the doors are closed.
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.”
