When I design something, I think of it as a gift to somebody else.
If you think of beautiful things, you’re not sad.
Everything I do is a direct creation of my hands, whether it is made in wood, plaster or clay.
Art has more ego to it than what I do.
The playful search for beauty.
My time in Weimar Berlin was the most elegant in my life. I would have parties for a hundred people - writers, scientists, artists.
