Pole is a characterful design without unnecessary details, where the emphasis is placed on high-quality and durable materials and a clean and sleek design language. Nevertheless, Pole appears as an out-of-the-ordinary bar stool. A circular seat of solid pine rests on an unconventional base that consists of a powder-coated steel tube. Placed horizontally across the base, a simple, smaller steel tube offers a place to rest your feet, serving as both a functional and decorative element in the design. The design is inspired by brutalist architecture which, with its robust materials and geometric shapes constitutes the foundation for the outline of Pole.
"Creating a design with a simple yet original form is always the biggest challenge in the design process. With Pole, I believe we have succeeded in creating a sturdy piece of furniture made of good, durable materials, with a very recognisable expression," explains designer Simon Legald.
Overall, Pole Barstool presents itself as a simple yet characterful design with contrasting geometric elements and subtle yet functional details.

Designed by 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."
