"I like uncomplicated ideas and I really appreciate accomplishing a lot with simple methods and materials. Obvious things that are so ordinary, they become extraordinary. I hope it's equivalent to fun, good social values and an uncomplicated straightforwardness, to accomplish a lot with simple methods. New Nordic design is in one way very international but at a closer look I guess the heritage has a great influence. We tend to think very pragmatic and simplistic, and we put a lot of work into durability. This could be misunderstood as boring, but it is not..." - Matthias Stahlbom
