JALOUSI SIDEBOARD

Watches, conveyor belts and 50s furniture were among the sources of inspiration for the Jalousi furniture collection. From that cocktail, Simon Legald has created a contemporary collection of storage furniture, interpreting the classic roll-front cabinet.

The Jalousi collection, which consists of a sideboard and cabinets in two different sizes, is characterised by its minimalist idiom and a contrasting mix of materials. All of the designs feature practical rolling shutters in inviting shades of colour.

The coloured shutters form an attractive contrast to the cabinet body in an oak veneer with legs of solid oak. The combination of materials and the graphic repetition of the shutter’s elements make the style young and masculine.

Jalousi is a versatile collection that can be used anywhere storage is required. For ring binders and office articles in an office environment, storage of glass and porcelain in the dining room, or for books and knickknacks in the living room. Movable shelves make it easy to adapt the cabinets to meet individual needs.

DESIGNER

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."
