"If I have any basic motivation, it's to inspire people to make their life a masterpiece." — Marcel Wanders

People like their handbag more than their sofa, and I hate it.

I have 60 people working for me in my studio. That's luxury if you ask me. I just dream. Tell those people that I want a certain thing. Those people will then invest days, and sometimes months, in bringing that idea to life. What more could you ask for? That's luxury for me.

Beauty is very important, but it's not the most important thing in the world.

A lot of my work is intelligent, a lot of the work is beautiful, but I make ugly things, too.
