Combining cutting-edge LED technology with his trademark attention to detail and functionalist aesthetics, Simon Legald has created the Hat Linear Pendant Light in collaboration with Normann Copenhagen.
The light features a linear arrangement of three or four spotlights, creating a cohesive line of illumination, perfect for use above a dining table or kitchen island. The intensity and hue of the light can be easily adjusted, allowing you to customise the light levels to suit any environment or mood.
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.”
