The Kube collection, designed by Simon Legald for Normann Copenhagen, explores the idea of volume as a starting point. With its generous and structured shapes, it evokes a sense of enveloping comfort while maintaining a clear and assertive presence in the space. Each module rests on a slightly recessed base, giving the impression that the seats float above the ground, lightening their silhouette. Designed to adapt to a variety of configurations, the Kube range includes two- and three-seater sofas as well as modular elements, allowing compositions to be created according to specific needs. The precise lines of the backrest and armrests form an inviting frame, while the deep seat encourages relaxation, whether in a domestic living room or a professional environment. With its restrained yet refined expression, the Kube sofa by Normann Copenhagen fits seamlessly into both open spaces and more intimate settings. It brings a gentle structure to the décor while offering a comfortable, well-balanced seat — striking a perfect balance between geometric rigor and practical softness.
A graduate of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2012, Simon Legald stands out for his creations that blend tradition and contemporary spirit. Furniture publisher Normann Copenhagen spotted him before he finished his studies, and their collaboration began in 2011 with the production of the Sumo footstool. The young Danish designer works on both small and large-scale projects, focusing on functionality. "In my designs, I try not to add unnecessary detail," he explains. His designs, now described as "new classics", combine simplicity and functionality. One of the collection's star products is the Ikono suspension, whose pure lines are inspired by Poul Henningsen's famous PH5 suspension. For Simon Legald, simplicity is synonymous with honesty and reveals the true identity of objects, so they need no further explanation. The aesthetics speak for themselves. Industry and crafts also play an important role in production. This combination offers a unique result. The sobriety that emanates from these objects through their curves and soft colours echoes the codes of Scandinavian design known until now, but with an extra touch of modernity.
