“Unlike an alchemist looking for gold, I realize that there is no formula for design. There are many issues to deal with in design that I am consciously aware of as mindsets in my brain, but in the end there is an unbearable lightness to my decision-making and I follow my heart.�
-Ineke Hans

“How you use materials and which materials to use is important to me. I make quite conscious choices - to be efficient, appropriate and - I don't like waste.�
-Ineke Hans

“Her work investigates the psychological roots of products, perceiving and playing with the interaction between people and objects. It centers around the pictogram and archetype, and draws on the images stored in the back of our minds from earliest childhood as a collective consciousness.�
