The Kube collection, designed by Simon Legald for Normann Copenhagen, begins with a study in volume. Its generous, well-defined forms suggest enveloping comfort while maintaining a clear, composed presence in the room. Each piece sits on a slightly recessed base, creating a floating effect that lightens the overall silhouette. Designed to adapt to a wide range of settings, the Kube line includes two- and three-seater sofas as well as modular elements, allowing flexible compositions to suit both personal and professional environments. The precise contours of the backrest and armrests create a welcoming frame, while the deep seat invites relaxation—at home or in a shared space. Kube’s by Normann Copenhagen restrained yet confident character makes it equally suited to open layouts and more intimate interiors. It introduces a gentle structure to its surroundings, offering generous seating that balances geometric clarity with everyday ease.
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.
