Make the workmanship surpass the materials.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Quality is pride of workmanship.
I'm trying to assemble materials for a different mode of life.
The design of each element should be thought out in order to be easy to make and easy to repair.
Any problem can be solved using the materials in the room.
Make the hard ones look easy and the easy ones look hard.
I have certain signatures, certain cutting principles. It could be a raw-edged seam; it could be leaving the lining of sheepskin exposed so it's not perfectly finished. I invent new ways to do it, but the end goal is always the same.
One must be entirely sensitive to the structure of the material that one is handling. One must yield to it in tiny details of execution, perhaps the handling of the surface or grain, and one must master it as a whole.
The work is getting the work.
One of my primary objects is to form the tools so the tools themselves shall fashion the work and give to every part its just proportion.
Make each product the best it can be. Focus on form and materials. What we don't include is as important as what we do include.
