Go to bed mad but in love.

A decade ago we picked an invoice number out of thin air: $9,750. Not $9,999, too corny. Not $10,000, too serious. I still remember opening the envelope with that exact check inside. I should have framed it.

Manifestation is goal setting with a bit of magic on top. I'm a believer.

Special crystals, energy cleaning, tarot cards, prebiotic sodas, cold pressed juices. I lump them all into one expansive category I call things to ignore. With one exception: manifestation.

An indoor bar designed to look like an outdoor bar. Hotel design at its most honest.

Not everything has to be the best. The best of everything is kind of exhausting. Toxic even.

It is impossible to attend Milan Design Week and not see the striving for greatness. The ambition is everywhere. It's a feeling.

A CEO once force fed me a compliment sandwich. It went something like: I like your beard, you are being a wimp about money, your ideas are great.

I love working from home. Sorry.

The World of Interiors publishes a lot of just horrible rooms. The photography is fan-fucking-tastic.

Has anyone ever read an 032c?

The future of the workplace will be about the WORK not the PLACE.

What if what we need is not more productivity, but less? What's the right furniture for that?

When companies started buying up those privacy pods, that was a clear signal the office was completely fucked.

No one except for management cares about productivity if everything you make is trash.

Everyone wants to do less shit!

Putting your work out into the world is your vote on how you think the world should be.

They don't take gold at Whole Foods.

Always be the video. Don't ever be the comments.

Ignore pots of gold, even if they have your name on them.
