You've got to like the people you work with.

One of my greatest influences is the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.

Cardboard is another material that's ubiquitous and everybody hates, yet when I made furniture with it everybody loved it.

On certain projects, on big public projects, people definitely are interested in making them greener, but on smaller projects with tight budgets it can be harder.

In an ideal world, pressure should come from below and from the top.

You have to be optimistic. I still have doubts and conflicts, but the bottom line is, I believe in the future.

The message I hope to have sent is just the example of being yourself.
