Description
Designed by Simon Legald for Normann Copenhagen, the Rib Low Sideboard Hybrid is a sophisticated storage solution that effortlessly adapts to the changing needs of modern living. Inspired by the timber-clad façades of Nordic summer houses from the 1960s, the design showcases the Rib collection's signature trapeze-shaped solid oak slats, creating a refined architectural expression rich in texture and character.
Crafted from FSC-certified oak veneer with solid oak detailing, the Rib Low Sideboard Hybrid balances natural materials with clean contemporary lines. The distinctive ribbed front introduces depth and visual interest while maintaining the understated simplicity that defines Scandinavian design. Behind the seamless exterior, concealed storage compartments provide a practical home for everyday belongings, while push-latch doors eliminate the need for handles, preserving the cabinet's elegant, uninterrupted appearance.
Its low-profile proportions make the Rib Low Sideboard Hybrid particularly versatile throughout the home. In the living room, it functions beautifully as a designer media unit, providing the ideal platform for a flat-screen television while discreetly storing streaming devices, games consoles, remote controls and accessories. The generous surface also makes it an elegant display area for artwork, lighting and decorative objects.
For music enthusiasts, the cabinet works equally well as a record player stand or vinyl storage unit. The wide top surface comfortably accommodates a turntable and audio equipment, while the enclosed compartments help keep records, cables and accessories neatly organised and out of sight.
Beyond the living space, the Rib Low Sideboard Hybrid offers practical storage within the bedroom. Positioned at the foot of a bed, it creates a refined alternative to traditional bedroom furniture, providing valuable storage for bedding, cushions, seasonal clothing or personal belongings while adding warmth and architectural interest to the room.
The combination of thoughtful functionality, premium craftsmanship and timeless Nordic aesthetics ensures the Rib Low Sideboard Hybrid remains relevant long after trends have passed. Whether used as a TV unit, sideboard, bedroom cabinet or statement storage piece, it delivers exceptional versatility while maintaining a calm and sophisticated presence.

Simon Legald
Simon Legald is a graduate of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and designs both small and large-scale products. Simon’s designs marry together 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.
Simon has designed some real classics in contemporary Scandinavian design including the block table, amp lamp and the furniture range, 'Form'. The Form range was, in fact, Legald’s dissertation project and after three years of development, it was taken into production by Normann Copenhagen. For Legald, people need to understand his designs and their functions. He keeps his plans simple and straightforward, displaying the technicalities instead of hiding them. “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.”
