I've never met a truly creative person who was happy and satisfied with life.

Good design is probably 98% common sense. Above all, an object must function well and efficiently-and getting that part right requires a good deal of time and attention.

People whose talents are not exploited become disenchanted and disruptive.

If our homes should provide anything, they should provide a sense of who we are and how we got here, a sense of connection balanced by a sense of direction and progress.

Home is the heart of life Home is where we feel at ease, where we belong, where we can create surroundings that reflect our tastes and pleasures Making a home is a form of creativity open to everyone.

Furniture and food are ways that people define their attitude toward life. They'll buy better stuff if it's offered to them.

Perhaps believing in good design is like believing in God, it makes you an optimist.
