Combining function, aesthetics and a simple Scandinavian design, the Normann Copenhagen Form Bar Stool is crafted with a metal frame blended with a choice of distinctive plastic seat colours. The moulded seat is based on well-thought-out curves, which follow the body and ensure optimal sitting comfort. The minimalist stylings of the stool showcase Simon Legald's striking brand of Nordic design, with a beautiful colour palette and a pared-back aesthetic.
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.”
