Story
A room within the room
Simon Legald describes his vision for Hyg as a room within the room, a place that gives a feeling of peace and security. The sofa version, he says, brings the focus towards the center, towards companionship and conversation.
Ample form, narrow contour
For the Hyg lounge series Normann Copenhagen describes an ample silhouette with an organic purity, offset by a narrow contour. The high sides lightly shield off the room and the broad seat allows many relaxed seating postures.
