Innovatively combining a mixture of high and low-density foam with feathers and a slender steel frame, the Normann Copenhagen Ark Two Seater Modular sofa adds an elegant touch to your lounge spaces. The legs elevate the piece, giving it a level of elegance and sophistication unmatched by other designs.
The modular construction of the design allows you to tailor it to best suit your space, reconfiguring it as your tastes and needs change over time. Simon Legald’s end goal was to capture a light, minimalist idiom in a sofa that was practical, comfortable, and flexible. The plump cushions provide a welcome oasis of comfort, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
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.”
