Tube is an armchair designed by Simon Legald to break with traditional codes, inspired by the Memphis design style of the 1980s, characterized by bold, geometric shapes.
Tube combines these playful elements with Danish minimalism, creating a bold yet timeless design. The chair features an oversized tubular steel frame that follows the curves of the upholstered seat.
The backrest, extended to rest the head, ensures maximum comfort.
The inside of the seat is made of plywood wrapped in foam and padding, offering numerous customization options with different leathers and textiles.
Tube can be used as a centerpiece in a living room, to create a reading corner, or as a row in an entrance hall, bringing a sculptural touch to any interior.

Simon Legald
Simon Legald graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2012. He has worked on the development of numerous products from small to large scale. Legald's designs are the result of an exchange between craft and industry. In his work, he emphasizes the structure of the product, which becomes intrinsic to the design.
“Honesty is what makes a product intelligible and defines its functionality. If you understand the product, then there's no need for explanations. The very purpose of my designs is to be bought and used. So they have to meet functional needs as well as psychological and aesthetic ones. For me, simplicity is what describes the true identity of objects. In my designs, I try not to add superfluous details. All this gives the products a simple, honest expression.”
