Perfectly proportioned and designed to compliment the Vig lounge chair and chaise longue, the Vig Outdoor Side Table is a stylish piece of functional design from Simon Legald and Normann Copenhagen.
Legald’s trademark brand of honesty is visible throughout the design, which is devoid of unnecessary ornamentation, with a focus on longevity and functionality. The use of a double powder-coated frame and durable Robinia wood make the table an enduring piece of furniture, perfect for a wide variety of different outdoor 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.”
