Incorporating traditional joinery techniques into a disarmingly simple design, the Notch Bed Frame is secured together by interlocking the solid pine planks, giving the frame incredible structural integrity and unique decorative details on the corners.
Crafted with exceptional attention to detail by the artisans at Normann Copenhagen, Simon Legald’s design is perfect for a wide variety of different spaces, its stripped-back aesthetic allowing it to drop seamlessly into any environment. Over time, the pine wood will develop its own unique patina, taking on the character of the space surrounding it and becoming an integral part of 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.”
