Story
An old French industrial frame
The frame of Journal is inspired by old French industrial furniture. It combines tubular steel with sheet steel, and its legs slope slightly outward. Frame and laminate desktop are coloured in the same subdued shade, and the oak edge of the top lightly interrupts the monochrome look and adds softness.
A small desk for the home
Simon Legald set out to create a desk that meets the requirements of our time and fits into the decor of a home as a harmonious part of it. The desk is suitably small so that it does not take up too much space, and its discreet functional details help create a pleasant environment in which good ideas can flow.
