I think it's really important to design things with a kind of personality.

If you can just be yourself, then you have to be original because there's no one like you.

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 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.

So if I design it and then go away, it's still living somewhere and it still exists by itself without me.
