Simon Legald used oak and plastic when creating this chair for Normann Copenhagen, which seeks to combine mid-century and contemporary Danish design in its form.
Launching during this month's Milan design week, the Herit chair ? short for heritage ? features a solid oak frame, an enveloping plastic backrest, and a sculpted plastic or upholstered seat.

"The simple and honest style that characterises Danish furniture history stands as a clear frame of reference for a collection draped in nostalgia," said the brand in a statement.
"But Herit is just as much a design that looks forward. Innovative production methods, new material compositions and timeless silhouettes give life to a chair that stands tall on its own," it continued.
The chair's plastic parts are moulded with a core of foam, which makes it possible to achieve the exact thicknesses needed to create the sculpted seat and the backrest's sweeping form.
As a result of combining traditional and contemporary design references, the brand hopes that the Herit chair will suit both classic and modern interiors.
