Designed by Simon Legald, the Sum sofa allows for ultimate versatility and comfort. Graduating from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2012, Legald works with simplicity by highlighting the necessities instead of hiding them, giving the product a simple and honest expression. This well-defined modular sofa is designed with dimensions and curves that give each module a unique and minimalistic expression. In a seemingly effortless flow, the lines of the modules meet and merge into an integrated whole. With endless combinations, the sum sofa provides the opportunity to show off your creative flair and personal style. Whether it is a corner sofa with enough seats for the whole family, or a two module sofa perfect for a small living space, the modular range offers a wealth of possibilities to accommodate all circumstances.
The Sum sofa can be built up from eight separate modules, angled or straight, with open or closed sides. Combine the parts you desire into a customised sofa unique to your personal taste. Also available in the collection are the Modular Sum 2 Seater Sofa and the Modular Sum 3 Seater Sofa enhanced by the Sum Armchair.
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.”
