Legendary designer, Rolf Sachs, leads us through the inside of his mind “Intelligence, functionality and an emotional value are the qualities I look for in design. I am attracted to everyday objects, lighting and furniture that have been continuously reinterpreted in contemporary materials,resulting in intriguing and nostalgic pieces that demonstrate the current zeitgeist. The objects I have selected are truthful and functional, devoid of any superfluous decoration or typical ‘design’ attributes. Their beauty lies in their simplicity, yet they have character and what I like to describe as ‘an inner soul’, which gives them a timeless and lovable quality.”
