What does simplicity mean to you?

Simplicity is mainly about finding the balance between form and function. It also entails rejecting the unnecessary and creating things with harmony. The less richness in form, the better awareness of the whole object.

What do notions like timeless or durability mean to you?

It makes me think about how to design a product that is long-range, away from current trends. Products should be easily identified with the nowness. 

What would you consider the perfect product?

The perfect product is classical, yet still attractive and in a good condition with the passing of time. It is that kind of product, which I could use for many years and I would never get bored with.

What sort of item would you consider passing on to your grandchildren? How would you describe it?

Probably it would be a very personal and emotionally important object. It could be functional and useful, like a watch for instance, but not necessarily. Primarily, it should have a semantic value for me.
