The best design explicitly acknowledges that you cannot disconnect the form from the material - the material informs the form.

There's an applied style of being minimal and simple, and then there's real simplicity. This looks simple, because it really is.

In our quest to quickly make three-dimensional objects, we can miss out on the experience of making something that helps give us our first understandings of form and material, of the way a material behaves--'I press too hard here, and it breaks here' and so on. Some of the digital rendering tools are impressive, but it's important that people still really try and figure out a way of gaining direct experience with the materials.

It feels like each time we are beginning at the beginning, in a really exciting way.

Simplicity is not the absence of clutter, that's a consequence of simplicity. Simplicity is somehow essentially describing the purpose and place of an object and product. The absence of clutter is just a clutter-free product. That's not simple.

When something exceeds your ability to understand how it works, it sort of becomes magical.

I’m always focussed on the actual work, and I think that’s a much more succinct way to describe what you care about than any speech I could ever make.
