I believe in: Form, Space, Order. (Ching)
I believe that: "Intercourse with beautiful things makes us beautiful." (Hoffman / Moser, Working Programme)
I admire the following design approach: "We put seemingly disparate objects together and allow them to simmer to see if we can raise the temperature of a space. Our work communicates that voltage between time periods, cultures, and styles." (Robin Standefer and Stephen Alesch of Roman and Williams Buildings and Interiors).
