Sko is made with robust, Scandinavian materials and consists of a frame with two perforated steel shelves. It’s perfect for places where extra storage space is needed for shoes and boots, such as the hallway and bedroom etc.
Sko has been designed without any unnecessary components. Simon Legald has stripped the design right down to its essence in order to draw focus to the details. The shoe rack consists of accentuated screws and bolts as well as perforated shelves, which cast creative shadows on the floor.
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.”
