The inspiration behind Sumo originates from the classic Danish
furniture industry, in which special attention is paid to the details
and craftsmanship in order to create the perfect balance between
aesthetics and functionality.
Simon Legald says; “I enjoy working with techniques which are
necessary for the design and instead of hiding them, I like to include
them as part of the design. The stitching, upholstery and buttons
therefore play an important part in the otherwise simple design. I have

expression soft and pleasing to the eye.” Sumo is a multifunctional piece of furniture and can be used as an
extension to the sofa, a feature in the bedroom or a stool in the
entrance hall.
