Collection Story
Origin
Rib is a Normann Copenhagen storage collection by Simon Legald, first presented in June 2022 with a cabinet and a sideboard. The reference is Nordic summerhouses of the 1960s and their facades with vertical wooden slats.
Design Language
Trapeze-shaped wooden panels give the fronts a rhythm of slats. The pieces are made in lacquered oak veneer with solid oak, in Oak or Soft Black, and the fronts are handle-less with a push latch.
