Created by Danish designer Simon Legald for Normann Copenhagen, Oona is a collection of three hand-woven rugs with an understated and graphic look. Made of 100% wool, the Oona rug plays with shapes and contrasts, combining simple lines and soft curves in three unique shapes, halfway between circle and square. As usual, the designer introduces subtle detail, drawing a line that interrupts the plain surface of the carpet. The radius of the corners is also different for each model, creating variation in the design while maintaining a unity of style. Oona rugs come in three sizes in rose, mint and grey. These rugs will find a place in any room: in the dining room, under a coffee table in the living room, at the foot of a bed or, for a modern touch, in the entrance hall.
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.
