Combining function, aesthetic and a simple Scandinavian design, this Normann Copenhagen Form armchair is crafted from a metal frame with a range of distinctive plastic seat colours. The moulded seat is based on complex curves, which mirror the body and ensure optimal sitting comfort. Perfectly suited to furnish your dining room, office or for use as an occasional chair.
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.”
