Hyg bar stool, 65 cm, black - black leather Ultra
Description
The Hyg bar chair, with its voluminous silhouette and soft, curvy lines, exudes warmth and comfort – it invites you to have a seat and take a moment for yourself. The inspiration behind the cosy Hyg collection is the word “hygge”: in the spirit of perhaps the most well-known word of the Danish language, designer Simon Legald wanted to create a place for relaxation with a sense of security. The Hyg chair is like a safe haven, a nest where you can feel comfortable, be it in your own dining room, an office setting or even a busy restaurant.
Simon Legald has said about the Hygge collection: “The moments where we sit down together, immerse ourselves in conversation and share a meal – for me, this is where the feeling of hygge really peaks. Thus, it seemed only natural that the Hyg range should also provide the setting for moments like these. The feeling of hygge is not only linked to the visual experience of the design; it lies in the overall sensuous experience. A lot of effort has gone into sculpting the shape to provide rest and support for the human body, to make it comfortable to sit in, basically.”

Having graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2012, Legald began his long and prolific collaboration with Normann Copenhagen soon after graduating. In Legald’s work, craft traditions meet industrial processes, and his style is marked by a modern simplicity in which function and visual aesthetics are kept in careful balance.
One of Legald’s best-known works is the Form chair collection, which was honoured with the iF Design Award in 2016.
Simon Legald – clear forms and honest materials
The Danish designer Simon Legald is known for his clear, purposeful design language and his use of genuine, honest materials.
Legald graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2012 and rose quickly to international renown through his collaboration with Normann Copenhagen. Today, he works as the company’s Head of Design.
At the meeting point of craft and industrial production
For Legald, design is not primarily self-expression but a way to solve practical needs in a clear and aesthetically pleasing way. His design shows a strong interest in the properties of materials and in how the structure of a product can be part of its visual appearance.
In Legald’s work, the meeting point of craft and industrial manufacture is a central starting point: structural solutions are not hidden away but brought in as part of the product’s appearance.
Furniture and objects for modern everyday life
Legald has designed everything from small everyday objects to extensive furniture collections, but regardless of scale, the same idea of clarity and balance recurs throughout his work.
Among his best-known works, the Form chair series was honoured in 2016 with the iF Design Award and a Special Mention in the German Design Award competition.
