As a designer the mission with which we have been charged is simple: providing space at the right cost.
A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add but when there is nothing left to take away.
This is what I like about being a designer: You can't really get it until you see it.
A good designer must rely on experience on precise logic thinking; and on pedantic exactness. No magic will do.
A designer is only as good as the star who wears her clothes.
Just what future the Designer of the universe has provided for the souls of men I do not know I cannot prove. But I find that the whole order of Nature confirms my confidence that if it is not like our noblest hopes and dreams it will transcend them.

Industrial designers are bracingly free of ideology and cant. The industrial designer is trained to be a clear-eyed observer of the commercial world - which like it or not is modern reality.
