"Why has the Costes chair only got three legs? Because a triangle can’t be bent out of shape, and in a café with five hundred chairs, five hundred fewer legs are five hundred fewer opportunities to trip over."
- Philippe Starck

"After I had made the Ball Chair I wanted to have the light inside it and so I had the idea of a transparent ball where light comes from all directions. The only suitable material is acrylic which is heated and blown into shape like a soap bubble. Since I knew that the dome-shaped skylights are made in this way I contacted the manufacturer and asked if it would be technically possible to blow a bubble that is bigger than a hemisphere. The answer was yes. I had a steel ring made, the bubble was blown and cushions were added and the chair was ready. And again the name was obvious: BUBBLE."

"Lesson on JET LAG from my native homeland:
Although your body may have arrived in one piece, your soul is still somewhere over your home backyard sat on the swing.
You will simply have to chill out and wait a few days for it to arrive."

"A blog is a blog, is a blog, is a blog ... but a blog does not necessarily have to be a blog. It can be anything as it is ergonomically correct. A blog could even be a small and soft Pony on which you can 'ride' or sit sideways."
