WHAT DEFINES GOOD DESIGN?

‘Good design is primarily design that lasts. Design

must have something to say; it must be able to

improve our quality of life and be meaningful. But

for me, design is not just about function – it’s also

about feelings, and I like if it provokes a little and

can challenge our way of life.’

WHAT MAKES A SPACE FEEL LIKE HOME?

‘A room is homey when the lighting and the

atmosphere come together; when the music

matches the place, and when the combination of

colours and light makes me feel happy. I also like to

be able to feel what is happening outside. I don’t like

being in pent up spaces, where daylight is excluded

or where materials and furniture are cold, or where

I get cold feet.’
