(lively music) (speaking in foreign language) - There's a lot of reasons why the chair is so essential for furniture designers. The chair stands free in space and our table would normally be covered. The bed is not very public. It has always been the symbol of power, of politics, if you think about the thrones in antique societies. And all this makes the chair extremely attractive for designers. He is very clear about the people he likes. He's also from that generation where designers dare to say this in my opinion is bad design. Today, we'd more often hear this is interesting. And you never know what does that mean? Interested, yes, of course. I think the whole world is interesting but I'm currently thinking, asking myself whether we're not entering a time where this question is it good or not good is maybe becoming more important again. We just can't afford to be so indifferent.
