Fashion objects are not capable of being long-lived. We simply cannot afford this throw-away mentality anymore. Good design has to have in-built longevity. I have lived with nearly all my furniture designs since they were first produced and they have all aged well. I believe that the secret of the longevity of my furniture lies in its simplicity and restraint.
