Copenhagen, Denmark

“Honesty is what makes a product understandable and is what describes the product’s functionality. If you understand the product, it does not need any explanation,” states Simon Legald.

Danish designer Simon Legald’s new Bit stool for Normann Copenhagen is an aesthetically pleasing, versatile stool with countless possibilities for the home. 

Use Bit as a pedestal for a floral arrangement, as a side table for a lamp, or as impromptu seating for that unexpected dinner guest.

Inspired by clear-cut shapes such as monoliths and columns, Legald’s take on the stool is both bold and multifunctional.

The straightforward, utilitarian look contrasts with the pixelated surface made up of small bits of 100% recycled household and industrial plastic.

A particular process, where plastic fragments are heated to a 120°C melting point, makes it possible to repeatedly reuse and reheat the material without altering its properties.

The result is a stool design with a distinctive thickness and composition, making every Bit a bit unique. 

Bit stool is available in four captivating color combinations. 

Choose the vivacious multicolored and mottle gray Bit to highlight the striking design and distinctive materials or the elegantly demure black or white Bit to subtly blend in with the existing decor. 

With its playful shape and fascinating array of hues, Bit will bring a sense of personality to any setting. 

Add some panache to the store window, lobby, or hotel room or invite Bit into your home to brighten up your living room or the children’s bedroom. 

Wherever you decide to place it, Bit will definitely bring a smile to your face.
