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

Beautiful things make people happy.

My time in Weimar Berlin was the most elegant in my life. I would have parties for a hundred people - writers, scientists, artists.

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

When I design something, I think of it as a gift to somebody else.

Men have no concept of how to design things for the home. Women should design the things they use.

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