• Bright colors (especially pink, which he calls "the color of creativity")
• Organic, flowing forms
• High-tech materials and manufacturing processes

• A focus on ergonomics and user experience

His motto, "Design shapes the future", reflects his belief that well-designed objects can enhance the human experience.
