Incorporating industrial and household plastic waste into his innovative design, Simon Legald has created a long-lasting and adaptable piece of furniture that can also be recycled at the end of its life.
The versatile Bit Coffee Table has been created with both outdoor and indoor spaces in mind, transcending the traditional concepts of furniture devised for one setting only. Whether used on your patio or in your living room, the Bit Collection is a beautiful array of minimalist contemporary furniture, defined by simple blocky shapes and a striking speckled pattern created by the unique blend of plastic chips.

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.”
