Story
Shell and frame as separate parts
Simon Legald says most chairs are built from a shell and a frame, and that breaking the chair into components lets it be shaped and adapted to different environments. He names this construction as the key motivation behind Allez.
Five tones from Nordic nature
Normann Copenhagen describes the palette of park green, grey, warm grey, black and white as neutral tones that reflect Nordic nature and fit into larger contexts and outdoor environments.
