The Hyg chair is available in two versions: Hyg with wooden legs and Hyg with metal legs.Â
Simon Legald created the Hyg series in reference to the famous Danish hygge. When introduced in 2018, the Hyg series consisted of a sofa, two armchairs and a footstool. In 2020, the range was expanded with a chair and a bar stool that share the same organic curves and concern for comfort.
"For me, it's when you're absorbed in conversation while sharing a meal that the hygge feeling reaches its peak. This sense of well-being is not only related to the visual experience of the design, it is also in the overall sensory experience. A lot of effort has been put into the form and materials used to help these moments of well-being to emerge," says Simon Legald.

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.”
