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

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

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.

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.

Elegance in objects is everybody’s right, and it shouldn’t cost more than ugliness.

In an ideal world, social responsibility would be a prerequisite for design, and designers would vow to produce beautiful, useful, positive, responsible, functional, and economical things and concepts that are meaningful additions to—or sometimes subtractions from—the world we live in. Indeed, design deserves such thoughtful consideration.

Not all design is for the general good.
