Form chair, white - oak
Description
The Form chair by Normann Copenhagen is a comfortable shell chair with a clean-lined and innovative design: its rounded legs are joined to the seat with a unique cup system, giving the chair its seamless, contemporary look. Featuring a gently curved polypropylene seat that is easy to keep clean, the Form chair can be used in a range of spaces from the office to the dining room and beyond.
Form could be seen as the definition of an ideal chair. Designer Simon Legald has said: “I had an idea of what the ideal chair should look like, and I have had this idea for many years. I have analyzed hundreds of chairs from different periods during the design process.” The Form concept was born as Legald’s graduation project, and in 2016, the collection received the prestigious iF Design Award.

Simon Legald (b. 1986) is a Danish designer and the head designer of Normann Copenhagen. 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 esthetics are kept in careful balance.
One of Legald’s best-known works is the Form chair collection, which was honored 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 esthetically 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 honored in 2016 with the iF Design Award and a Special Mention in the German Design Award competition.
