Designed by young Danish designer Simon Legald for Normann Copenhagen, the Eddy lamp, unique in proportions, perfectly combines balance and movement. It is composed of a lampshade that seems to float lightly above a solid base with organic shapes. Steel and marble are the main materials of this lamp and the golden sheen of brass adds the finishing touch. The flat lampshade, with an integrated LED bulb, is placed on a handcrafted base made of solid Italian marble. The lampshade and the base are connected by a round pivot in bright gold-plated brass, which allows the direction of the lighting to be adjusted. The light thus projected onto the marble accentuates the changes associated with this material.The Eddy table lamp from Normann Copenhagen provides a soft light, ideal for the living room or bedroom.
A graduate of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2012, Simon Legald stands out for his creations that blend tradition and contemporary spirit. Furniture publisher Normann Copenhagen spotted him before he finished his studies, and their collaboration began in 2011 with the production of the Sumo footstool. The young Danish designer works on both small and large-scale projects, focusing on functionality. "In my designs, I try not to add unnecessary detail," he explains. His designs, now described as "new classics", combine simplicity and functionality. One of the collection's star products is the Ikono suspension, whose pure lines are inspired by Poul Henningsen's famous PH5 suspension. For Simon Legald, simplicity is synonymous with honesty and reveals the true identity of objects, so they need no further explanation. The aesthetics speak for themselves. Industry and crafts also play an important role in production. This combination offers a unique result. The sobriety that emanates from these objects through their curves and soft colours echoes the codes of Scandinavian design known until now, but with an extra touch of modernity.
