Marc Newson If somebody asked me about my inspiration I would say that it's not the people and it's not the things, it's travel and experiencing different environments. Marc Newson I'm interested in youth culture and popular culture. Marc Newson
If you can just be yourself, then you have to be original because there's no one like you. Marc Newson
Charles & Ray Eames
Charles & Ray Eames Ideas are cheap. Always be passionate about ideas and communicating those ideas and discoveries to others in the things you make. Charles Eames Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects. The quality of the connections is the key to quality per se. Charles Eames Choose your corner, pick away at it carefully, intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world. Charles Eames Demetrios Eames , grandson of Charles and Ray Eames, recalled stories of the wonderful experiments of the design power couple. “What’s important,” Eames emphasised, “is that they never delegated understanding.” He shared with us photos of the beautiful forms that had never reached production.
