I think with my hands. I design things to be touched-not for a museum. A piece is ready when it has the shape of something to cherish.

Beautiful things make people happy.

Everything I do is a direct creation of my hands, whether it is made in wood, plaster or clay.

I am a maker of useful things.

I don't call myself an 'industrial designer,' because I'm other things. Industrial designers want to make novel things. Novelty is a concept of commerce, not an aesthetic concept.

I made the things particularly because I wanted them to see the world.

My work is very bodily. It's not a shell, but a body.
