What would you like to design next?
Nothing in particular. I mean, that question itself is categorizing the object of design, isn’t it? It’s like going to a little boy and asking, “Do you want to design a car?” or “Do you like home electronics?” If someone asked me to design something, I would only design it if it was something that other people would say, “You’re really going to design that?!?” I’m not interested in designing something that is design-ey. Or maybe I’m just not interested in doing design-ey design. I like something that feels like maybe it was designed, maybe not, but just makes me say, “Hey, that’s nice!” Lately I’ve been designing things like the runners on the ceiling and the wooden pieces that fit in to connect the wall and the floor. When those small things are designed nicely, the whole space becomes really beautiful. I’m also working on designing soaps and Japanese paper. I want to design the unnoticeable.
