Story
Hygge at the dining table
Simon Legald designed the Hyg series around the Danish idea of hygge. The series began in 2018 with lounge seating, and in 2020 a chair and a barstool joined it with the same hearty, organic curves.
A shape sculpted for the body
Legald says a lot of effort went into sculpting the shape to give rest and support for the human body, with the dining chair meant to sit alongside the lounge pieces in coherent environments.
