It is important to realize that whatever we do or design has iconographic references, it comes from somewhere; any form is always metaphorical, never totally metaphysical; it is never a 'destiny' but always a fact with some kind of historical reference. To put an object on a base means to monumentalize it, to make everyone aware it exists.

Decoration can be a state of mind, an unusual perception, a ritual whisper.

...there is no doubt something will be done sooner or later to enable us to put on a house every day, just as we put on clothes or choose a book to read or a theater to go to, like choosing a day to be lived, within the limits grated by other destinies or chances.

If you think you're meeting your destiny on the other side of a door you may not be interested in its design.

My furniture is an exercise in architecture or architectural mood.

I try and be as stupid as possible regarding my profession, which means I try to look at as few design magazines as possible.

I make no special difference between architecture and design, they are two different stages of invention.
