When I go to a fine dining restaurant, I'm excited and I do expect to find proposals to wake my senses.

I use the kitchen as a pathway to achieve this happiness.

A chef is a chef, a cook is a cook; a lorry driver is a lorry driver and a designer is a designer. I've never heard anyone say that Philippe Starck is a chef. The important thing is dialogue. If I said to Norman Foster that he was a chef he'd say "No", but he might have a dialogue with chefs. People have said to me for many years that I'm not a chef and that I'm an artist instead, but I always say, "No, I'm a chef." I just have dialogues with designers.

When a customer receives a dish, they get food and design at the same time.

I cant live without activity; I cant be sedentary.

I have a drivers licence, but the truth is that I hardly ever drive. I prefer to get around by taxi.

Like all disciplines where information is shared and work contributes to their advancement, cuisine should be no different. The kitchen is our life, and we are available to share. We want to share our work so that future generations can cook and create a more efficient, easy and unquestionable quality.
