Are you pro- or anti-macassar?

Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context-a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.

If you are in a shipwreck and all the boats are gone, a piano-top buoyant enough to keep you afloat that comes along makes a fortuitous life presever. But this is not to say that the best way to design a life preserver is in the form of a piano-top.

Good design is a lot like clear thinking made visual.

Art has to move you and design does not, unless it's a good design for a bus.

Attractive things work better.
