People kind of tend to mystify design and architecture by suggesting you need to train.

I think it's really important to design things with a kind of personality.

If you see something that you feel is familiar it gives you an important kind of emotional connection.

Design schools are good, I guess, sometimes I visit schools, but they are very very limiting.

You know that's history, that's why some people say that my stuff is retro, but I don't agree.

Well, I never studied design and I went to art school to study art, you know, sculpture and things like that, and ended up making things like sculpture and started making chairs and jewelry together and that's how I started.
