I like to have Chinese furniture in my home as a constant and painful reminder of how much has been destroyed in China. The contrast between the beauty of the past and the ugliness of the modern is nowhere sharper than in China.

The attitude and capacity of the factory the old metal table and the new ideas of the wooden furniture quickly and naturally suggested the possibility of metal furniture.

I'm drawn to furniture design as complete architecture on a minor scale.

I love building spaces: architecture furniture all of it probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people.
