Attaining its name from the word Heritage, the Normann Copenhagen Herit Chair was inspired by Danish furniture traditions. Featuring an innovative yet nostalgic design, its timeless silhouette is ergonomically composed to mimic the shape of the body, providing the utmost comfort and support. A chair in which oak and plastic merge in tactful synergy, this striking hybrid of time, that transcends styles and periods, is ideally utilised around a dining table or in front of a desk, adding a touch of practicality and everlasting style to your home.
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.”
