Using three visual elements reminiscent of three separate panels, Panel Table discards the archetypical notion of a dining table with four legs, once in each corner. Instead, the flat-packed design features a well-balanced, robust construction crafted using materials that offer a beautiful interplay and timeless relevance.

A solid FSC™️ certified pine tabletop finished with a Dark Brown stain and protective, matt lacquer rests atop two powder coated steel bases connected with a steel beam. The wooden tabletop as well as the two metal legs are cut in a slight angle, an elegant detail that infuses the design with an airy, sophisticated expression despite its innate robustness.

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.”
