“It’s not the household items and furniture that are the most important – it’s the ‘atmosphere’. This consists partly of the light, both daylight and evening light, and the proportions of the room… Everything that ‘lives’ makes a home far more beautiful than a perfectly formed chair or a carefully selected wallpaper”

“…The modern home is therefore a mix of more expensive and

inexpensive objects that don’t have to go together…The main thing is simply convenience and comfort.”
