There's design, and there's art. Good design is total harmony. There's no better designer than nature - if you look at a branch or a leaf, it's perfect. It's all function. Art is different. It's about emotion. It's about suffering and beauty - but mostly suffering!

The iPad! What is better designed than that? I read magazines on it, I play Scrabble. I use it for everything.

A challenging economy is always good for design. It unites necessity and functionality. You are forced to be creative with poor materials.
