Edge is designed with minimalistic design principles for a timeless, yet captivating expression. The table is crafted from 100% travertine, an interesting and timeless material distinguished by its extraordinary structure and unique patterns. 

To minimize unnecessary waste, Edge is designed to utilize the way the travertine material is sourced. The natural stone is quarried from a travertine quarry, then cut into slabs of different sizes. Edge Coffee Table consists entirely of square travertine slabs in varying sizes, assembled in a simple, geometric construction. This way, the different slabs are used to make the most of the material.

The geometric construction of the table casts intriguing shadows and infuses the design with a dynamic expression. Edge is characterized by minimalistic, clean lines, a complementary contrast to the dynamic play and organic look of the natural material. In total, a simple design that shines light on the natural travertine stone and possesses an extraordinary ability to fit seamlessly into any interior.

About the designer:

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."
