Built with the circular economy in mind, the Bit Lounge Chair incorporates industrial and household plastic waste into its design, rotationally moulded in such a way that the plastic can be reused and reheated without compromising the integrity of the material.
The versatile Bit Collection has been designed by Simon Legald, intended for use in a variety of different settings, from elegant lobbies to cosy living rooms.
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.”
