To create well I have to be in a good mood, happy and cool.
~ Marc Newson
I have a lot of objects in my space, little things, reminders, memories.
People kind of tend to mystify design and architecture by suggesting you need to train.
You know that's history, that's why some people say that my stuff is retro, but I don't agree.
If somebody asked me about my inspiration I would say that it's not the peopleand it's not the things, it's travel and experiencing different environments.
So if I design it and then go away, it's still living somewhere and it still exists by itself without me.
I think it's really important to design things with a kind of personality.
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.
So if I want to buy a light in a shop and I don't find a light that I like, I think to myself what would I like? What would I like to buy? Then I started to imagine and design it for myself a lot of the time.
Design schools are good, I guess, sometimes I visit schools, but they are very very limiting.
