I sit, I think, I make some drawings. As a designer, you cannot retire totally.

My heart belongs to the details. I actually always found them to be more important than the big picture. Nothing works without details. They are everything, the baseline of quality.

As designers we have a great responsibility.

Things which are different in order simply to be different are seldom better, but that which is made to be better is almost always different.

A product is bought to be used. It has to satisfy certain criteria, not only functional, but also psychological and aesthetic. Good design emphasizes the usefulness of a product whilst disregarding anything that could possibly detract from it.

Design should not dominate things, should not dominate people. It should help people. That's its role.

As designers we have a great responsibility. I believe designers should eliminate the unnecessary. That means eliminating everything that is modish because this kind of thing is only short-lived.
