I was unaware of the sheer scope of his oeuvre until I took a dive. This man has done everything from private & public spaces, retail stores, furniture, product design, kitchenware, chess sets, sculptures, to DJ tables.
how to create real aura:
> stop caring how you are perceived
> stop performing for the room
> stop adjusting your voice for approval
> stop calculating every reaction
> stop editing yourself in real time
> move without checking the mirror of other people’s faces
> make choices that are no longer negotiations
> stop leaking energy into the need to be understood
> treat indifference as sovereignty, not coldness
> need less to be seen
> perform less
> let the performance end
aura is what remains when you finally stop asking for permission to exist
Children really do just casually say the most profound things and then go back to coloring like nothing happened. I asked my five year old daughter if she believes in magic expecting her to say something about unicorns, instead she informed me that of course magic is real because she’s looking at me and I’m looking at her. Yeah, I didn’t need my heart today.
