Simon Legald (Danish, born 1986) is an industrial designer known for his clear, honest approach to contemporary product design. Born in Denmark, he studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, graduating in 2012. Shortly after finishing his studies, he began collaborating with the Danish brand Normann Copenhagen, a partnership that quickly brought international recognition through designs that combine clean Scandinavian lines with a strong sense of function and material integrity. Legald’s philosophy centers on the idea that simplicity should not mean simplification, emphasizing carefully considered details, balanced proportions, and a respect for the character of materials. His work spans furniture, lighting, and everyday objects, often blending traditional craftsmanship with modern industrial production. Pieces such as the Form chair and the Amp lighting series have become contemporary design references. Through his thoughtful and accessible designs, Legald represents a new generation of Scandinavian designers shaping modern furniture and product design.
