Heavy Duty
Though barely out of design school, rising talent Simon Legald has already teamed up with Normann Copenhagen to create a new pouf.The Scandinavian design powerhouse launched Sumo in seven colour combinations, in all cases including black, grey, beige, blue and red. The multifunctional seat was inspired by classic Danish furniture forms, and Legald paid special attention to detail and craftsmanship to achieve the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality. Simple yet playful – Legald’s design motto – Sumo is made of wood, textile and buttons, with subtle details in the upholstery and stitching. Use it as an extension of the living room sofa, as a seat in the bedroom or as a stool in the hallway.

Cappellini arrives at this year’s Salone del Mobile with an eclectic lineup of chairs by Jasper Morrison, Marcel Wanders and Zanini de Zanine. Wanders’ upholstered Dalia armchair is targeted at both residential and office environments, and Morrison has extended his existing Lotus office seating to now include coloured versions. Trez, by newbie designer Zanini de Zanine, is a minimalist three-legged chair, devoid of embellishment, with the result being both furniture and sculpture in one. Zanine was inspired by the work of two Brazilian artists, the sculptor Amilcar de Castro and leading furniture designer Joaquim Tenreiro. Made from laser-cut and welded aluminium, Trez comes in a choice of three matt colours – white, black or red.
