Simon Legald is a Danish product designer born in 1986, he studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts before graduating in 2012 and beginning his adventure with Normann Copenhagen. Legald designed the Form range as part of his dissertation project whilst at University and, upon graduating, after three years of development, it was taken into production by Normann Copenhagen. The range originally just consisted of chairs, but then continued to evolve to include other furniture items.

Legald's work focuses on minimalism, avoiding any unnecessary details and ensuring functionality is at the heart of every design. He believes that simplicity describes the true identity of objects and makes them trustworthy; he highlights the necessities instead of hiding them, providing the final product with a simple and honest expression.

"Honesty is what makes a product understandable and is what describes the product's 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." - Simon Legald
