Sting

I’m essentially agnostic. I don’t have a problem with God. I have a problem with religion. I’ve chosen to live my life without the certainties of religious faith. I think they’re dangerous. Music is something that gives my life value and spiritual solace.

I believe very much in the power of proportions. It’s something you feel. In the 16th and 17th centuries, proportions were a secret knowledge; only the initiated could know the art of proportions. Now we live in a time when there are no secrets anymore.

I didn’t just want to design a sheet; I saw it in terms of a total lifestyle concept.

You want to be part of the flow without ego. The freer you are, the more creative you will be. Ego is limiting.

We want to feel the origin of nature, the origin of that mountain and what that mountain wants of a house.

I like things that are close to you that give you spirit.

Axel Vervoordt is kind of everything.

The best rooms also have something to say about people who live in them.

I don’t read papers anymore. I almost never look at television because I like to have that open mind and feel things not with the influence.

Art made me look at things differently. It opened my mind.

Nothing goes out of fashion quicker than fashion.
