The designer's job is to imagine the world not how it is, but how it should be.

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.

Hanging onto a bad buy will not redeem the purchase.

The living room should be a place where we feel totally at ease - temple of the soul.

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

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

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.
