When I am working with designs, I find: innovation, aesthetics and functionality very important.It is important to innovate and to bring new thinking into existing designs. Innovation is for instance to use known materials for something new. I believe in ‘less is more’ – I believe that a piece of furniture is only to consist of the essential because then it will appear clean and simple – with international appeal.’ Beauty depends on functionality’– this is what the Shakers said – and I agree. I am not making art but functional designs that can be used in people’s every day life. I would never create a beautiful chair that was not comfortable to sit in.
