QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON DESIGN

 

 

Interior design is a travesty of the architectural process and a frightening condemnation of the credulity, helplessness and gullibility of the most formidable consumers -- the rich.

Sir Terence Conran (1931-, British businessman, designer)

 

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

 

David Hockney (1937-, British artist)

D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930, British author)

 

Design is not for philosophy -- it's for life.

 

Issey Miyake
