Flowing like a piece of draped fabric, the Normann Copenhagen Drape collection has a considered aesthetic that blends the natural and the manmade together with Simon Legald’s trademark honesty and attention to detail. The shell melds with the slender metal frame, sprawling out to maximise the chair’s comfort.
Perfect for lounging, the Drape Lounge Chair gives you somewhere to relax after a long day. The fabric upholstery enhances the tactility of the piece, adding layers of sensation that enfold you in a warm embrace. Slender legs add lightness and contrast with the generously proportioned seat shell.
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.”
