When I was young, all we ever heard about was functionalism, functionalism, functionalism. It’s not enough. Design should also be sensual and exciting.

Apologies to Milan and Tokyo. Regrets to Stockholm and Paris. Forgive me, Eindhoven, Berlin, Barcelona and, most particularly, New York. But London is the design capital of the world.

Il guaio dell’albergo è che bisogna disfare la valigia, e ci si ritrova in un letto sconosciuto con i frivoli giornali e le riviste che abbiamo preso per viltà, per non restare soli.

People do not leave their homeland on their own free will – only poverty or a lover usually makes you leave so rapidly.
