With its clean lines and subtle detailing, the Ex series allows the material, extruded aluminum, to take center stage, lending the series its name.

Designed for durability in outdoor settings, Ex Table and Bench effortlessly transition indoors, making them ideal for both residential living spaces and high-traffic areas such as professional canteens and educational facilities

Simon Legald explains “Aluminum’s unique ability to be both lightweight and highly durable makes it the perfect choice for outdoor furniture, while its natural resistance to corrosion and decay ensures it can withstand the elements while retaining the inherent beauty of the material.”

The Ex Table and Bench feature a sleek construction with aluminum profiles placed with a slight gap between each, allowing rainwater to drain easily. Supported by four subtly angled legs, the design balances form and function, creating a visually light yet sturdy outdoor solution.

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."
