Inspired by the sculptural grace of the humble column, Simon Legald designed the Normann Copenhagen Scala Cafe Table as a tribute to this most enduring architectural feature. The powder-coated steel base features four steel columns, the negative space between them emphasising the traditional form. The addition of a marble tabletop adds a prestigious touch to the design, giving the whole piece a sophisticated air that lends a luxurious touch to your interior spaces.
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.”
