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.

Milan Preview
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.
