When I met my designs in the market of a remote village in the West Indies, or in the airport restaurant in Zurich, I felt like the mother of many well-behaved children.

I don't know the difference between working and not working.

Beautiful things make people happy.

The playful search for beauty.

If you think of beautiful things, you’re not sad.

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.
