important quotes .

I am totally afraid of

the idea of method, I

think it is better to be

candid. What is really

essential for adesigner is to have

empathy.

is to remove, remove,

remove, bit by bit,

anything that is

unnecessary, that getsin the way of maximum

unity.Ronan Bouroullec

approach architecture from themillimetre. the algue and twigs modules

become raw materials, destined to be

transformed. Inspired by nature.
