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.

People whose talents are not exploited become disenchanted and disruptive.

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

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.

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.

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

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