Products, buildings, sculptures…As you create forms and practice pieces with different formal expressions, you encounter numerous different attractive shapes before you arrive at the one that is optimal for your purposes. As you explore the secrets of shapes around a certain concept, you naturally discard those that do not accurately express the idea or bring you closer to your goal. Sometimes, however, you may unintentionally fall in love with one of the shapes that you have created, and you may be loath to part with it. Nothing makes me happier than to arrange these kinds of shapes on a shelf as if they were objets and then gaze at them.

One of the things that makes design so delightful is this opportunity to simply play with shapes without worrying about potential utility or pesky concepts. Before they are polished, rough stones are ambiguous and uncertain, but they have enormous potential to move in any direction.
