Sten Shelf
As the name suggests, Sten is a decorative shelf made entirely of stone. The design is unique in its simplicity, consisting of a single stone slab resting on two rounded shelf brackets, also crafted of stone.
Designer Simon Legald explains, "Normally, you would expect a shelf to consist of brackets and a board of sorts. Here, the aim was to create a single unit where the brackets became part of the aesthetic experience rather than a purely practical, structural element."
Sten is both functional and sculptural, serving as an artistic element on the walls while also providing a practical storage solution for books, vases, or still life arrangements. Sten Shelf is available in two sizes of 120 cm and 80 cm, both crafted from 100% solid marble in a sophisticated black variant, a classic white, and an elegant travertine. Due to the use of natural stones, each shelf will have its own unique, natural pattern.
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."
