Featuring high-quality materials and a sleek design language, the Pole Bar Stool is not your typical stool. Centred around a powder-coated steel base with an integrated tubular footrest, the stool showcases its brutalist influences with robust materials and strong geometric shapes.
Simon Legald has collaborated with Normann Copenhagen to create a simple yet original piece of furniture, perfectly suited for a wide variety of different environments.
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.”
