The design is rigorous and focused, but its character is open: elegant and resolute as a wing stretching into the air, the sofa unfurls its armrests and invites you into its soft, welcoming space. Slender, angular legs lift it off the ground in a delicate counterpoint to the generous contours of the backrest and armrest. The contrasting facets of Sum's design are framed by a harmonious modular concept. In a seemingly effortless flow, the lines of the modules meet and merge into an integrated whole. Consideration has also been given to the rear, so that the sofa can stand in the middle of a room and delight the eye from every angle.

Simon Legald
Simon Legald graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in the summer of 2012. His work consists of both small- and large scale products. Simonβs designs are often created in a dialogue between craftsmanship and industry. He also likes to incorporate the techniques that are necessary for the structure of a product into the design by highlighting them visually.
βHonesty is what makes a product understandable and is what describes the products functionality. If you understand the product, it does not 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 design, 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.β
