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

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form is always metaphorical, never totally metaphysical; it is never a 'destiny' but always a fact with some kind of historical reference.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.

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