About

Cushioned Modules in An Airy Expression

Ark is built using a spring system and a combination of high-density foam, low-density foam and feathers, providing maximum comfort. The frame rests on slender legs made from powder-coated steel, elegantly lifting the sofa from the ground, making the design appear airy and light.

Designer Simon Legald elaborates: “The goal was to design a sofa that was practical, comfortable and flexible while still adhering to a light, simplistic idiom.

The flexibility of Ark is emphasized in its modular construction comprising four different modular units. Providing the possibility to choose between two end modules, a center module, corner module or a one-seater, Ark can be customized to any need or space. A wide range of high-quality upholstery options offer further possibilities for personal expression.

Ark’s embracing silhouette and sophisticated expression makes it an obvious choice for furnishings in residential and commercial settings alike.

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. Simon’s 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.

“Honesty 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.”
