Quote of Note | Hella Jongerius

“There’s so much superficial rubbish made! You can expect a good designer to pick up on the signals that characterize a particular moment, to analyze them, and find a meaningful way of translating them, trusting not only their intuition but also taking scientific insights into account. A translation like that must not only do justice, for example, to the longing for the past that is popping up everywhere, but also to the present. I’m a passionate advocate of resuming handicraft techniques, not because I want to go back in time but precisely because I want to take a new step forward.
