I am not an early bird. I go to bed normally between midnight and 1 oclock, so it is understandable that I cannot be an early bird. I wake up around 9 oclock.

Good design is long-lasting! It avoids being fashionable and therefore never appears antiquated.

Having small touches of colour makes it more colourful than having the whole thing in colour.

All too much of the man-made is ugly, inefficient, depressing chaos.

We designers, we don't work in a vacuum. We need business people. We are not the fine artists we are often confused with.

Good design makes a product understandable.

There is a lot of bad architecture. What we need more is to look at how our landscape should look in the next decades.
