In His Own Words:

“Furniture is needed for practical reasons, and because it must be there, it may as well be as pleasant as possible to look at, and in a less definable psychological way, comforting to the spirit.”

“Modernism means freedom—freedom to mix, to choose, to change, to embrace the new but to hold fast to what is good.”
