I want people to understand that design is so much more than cute chairs - that it is first and foremost everything that is around us in our life.

While an artist can choose whether or not to be responsive and responsible towards other human beings, by definition a designer must be.

Designers may be the true intellectuals of the future.

Good design is a Renaissance attitude that combines tech, cognitive science, human need and beauty to produce something.

Small objects, like the Walkman first and then the iPod, create bubbles of space around us that enable us to have a metaphysical space that is much bigger than our physical space.

We live today not in the digital, not in the physical, but in the kind of minestrone that our mind makes of the two.

Not all design is for the general good.
