— What does simplicity mean to you?
Simplicity is understandable in its nature and holistic. It is always there offering us the feeling of balance and relaxation in daily life.
— What do notions like timelessness or durability mean to you?
The measure of durability is not a solid performance that will endure for centuries, but the ability to a beautiful aging and renewing. Things should be in a constant cycle of life and death - just like us. Timeless is when it was, it is, and it will be the current one, for us and somebody else.
