Bit is a collection of versatile stools that can be used in a thousand ways, whether as a pedestal for a vase, as a side table or simply as a regular stool. Inspired by clean-cut shapes, such as monoliths or columns, designer Simon Legald’s idea is both bold and multifunctional.
The minimalist look of these stools contrasts with the pixelated surface, made possible by pieces of recycled household and industrial plastic. This particular process, which is done by melting the fragments at 120°C, makes it possible to reuse and remelt the material without altering it and making each stool unique. Available in three different shapes.
The Bit Stools were notably recognized with the Best Of Year award in the « outdoor products » category by Interior Design Magazine in 2021.

Simon Legald
Simon Legald graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in the summer of 2012. His work consists of both small- and large scale products. Simon’s designs are often created in a dialogue between craftsmanship and industry. He also likes to incorporate the techniques that are necessary for the structure of a product into the design by highlighting them visually.
“Honesty is what makes a product understandable and is what describes the products functionality. If you understand the product, it does not need any explanation. The essence of my design is for it to be bought and used. Therefore, it has to satisfy not only the functional aspects, but also the psychological and aesthetic needs. For me simplicity describes the true identity of objects and makes them trustworthy. In my design, I try not to add any unnecessary details. I work with simplicity by highlighting the necessities instead of hiding them. It gives the product a simple and honest expression.”
