on imitation

“模仿是最高形式的奉承“ － 可可. 香奈兒

我認為設計是一種，當它被與世界分享後（展示給客戶，被建造，被出版…）就已經擁有了獨自生命的存在。如同一個孩子 － 雖然是從我誕生的，但却不可避免的成為它獨立的個體。

對我而言重要的是，能夠持續創造更多設計的能力。以及能夠維持這種能力的毅力。

與其擔心人們拿走我已經創造的設計，我更願意選擇前進。前進而繼續創造更多，更好的。

“Imitation is the highest form of flattery” - Coco Chanel

I think of a design as something, once shared with the world (presented to client, constructed, published..), has taken on a life of its own. It is like a child - it was born out of me, but it inevitably becomes something of its own.

What is important here for me is to be able to keep on creating more designs. To be able to maintain that ability.

Rather than concerning about people taking what I have created, I choose to move forward. And continue creating more and better.
