His latest collection is for Normann Copenhagen, which consists of [pepper grinders and salt shakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zjddg), a rolling pin and a few other utensils. The collection is called 'Craft,' speaking to the high quality craftsmanship placed in every item. Made from [oak and marble](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oak-wood-utensils), each piece moulds perfectly to one's hand, and also looks good when simply sitting on the shelf. The marble is what really helps to elevate the collection to a classier genre, as these details look absolutely stunning. Simon Legald did a great job with ensuring people could have functional kitchen items that also look amazing.
