I think what tends to happen is is very often at the beginning of a movement, whether it's a design or an art movement, there is that [...] incredible energetic. [...] In a way, by definition, if it marks the beginning of a movement there is energy, and I think often beauty is, it evolves, beauty takes time, and very often at the beginning of an energy, it's an explosion, and there's not time.

[...] We would take it in turns to have the design team come to our homes, and we would spend a day working in our in our home. [...] I probably thought way too much, [...] it was [...] a very very powerful way of one doing, [...] or encouraging us in our practice to do good work, and [...] in building the team.

And I think [...] first of all there's an interesting dynamic in terms of how we regard each other, you know the host and this is a bit like when we make something for one another. The host is slightly anxious, and concerned about the potential judgment of their soft furnishings, [...] it's like when you have somebody come to your house, there is a self-consciousness. [...] I don't think that's unhealthy always,

[...] and then the guests who you are hosting, [...] they're on better behavior than if they were all just trundling into a conference room. And then there you've got the context, you know if you're designing for people. [...] Who here would actually want to spend time in a conference room, I can't think of a more soulless and depressing place.

A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.

With every bone in my body, I truly believe that if we want to participate as members of the the species, we have an obligation and a responsibility to care for each other.

[...] Freud said a great thing: "all there is love and work", work and love that's that's all there is and so we spend a lot of time working, and so if we elect to spend our time working, not caring about other people, I think not only do other people suffer, [..] we suffer. [...] that's a corrosive existence, and so [...] I would see it as a not only a responsibility but truly a privilege.

Because it's very easy for everybody to have an opinion, everybody does it, just doesn't mean every opinion has the same weight.

What kills an idea is people’s urge to express their opinion.

I always think it's funny, think about the relationship between the chair you're sat on and how you feel like. [...] I think there is an important point which is, if you're designing for people and you're in someone's living room, sat on their sofa or sat on their floor, and your sketchbook is on their coffee table, of course you think differently.

Don't you? Of course, your your preoccupation, your you know, where your mind wanders, um is so different, than if you're sat in in a in a typical you know corporate.
