Normann Copenhagen developed an innovative and sleek mounting solution consisting of four moulded plastic connectors for the Form Armchair, which fit perfectly to the seat of the shell, making it appear as though the legs are growing out of the seat. The moulded shell is based on well-thought-out curves, which follow the body and ensure optimal sitting comfort. For example, the seat is wider to accommodate various body types. It also gives you room to change your position so you sit comfortably for a longer period of time.
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.”
