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 need to be mavericks, because the best way to design a successful object is to pretend that either it never existed or that people will be able to have a new behavior with it.

Be yourself, be in the moment, you’re going to be modern.

Designers stand between revolutions and everyday life. They’re able to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and society and convert those changes into objects and ideas that people can understand.

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

Ugly design should be rejected, just like nonfunctional design is rejected, just like nonenvironmentally conscious design should be rejected. It's a value.
