办公室没建卫生间，尿憋满了就要去一百米开外的公共厕所。在一百米距离的路上有五个铸铁的井盖，天天见到。

天天见到的东西你不一定就看它，因为常见，因为普通。常见与普通其实才真，如果直接用在设计上会制造出熟悉的陌生，反而会打动人心。

Working in an office without a restroom, people have to rush to a public toilet, when pressed by a natural necessity. Everyone can see five iron manhole covers on a-hundred-meter’s road everyday.
People may ignore the things seen every day, because they are too common and ordinary. Common and ordinary things are real. If a person can convey a familiar feeling of unfamiliarity through design, he can touch others’ hearts.

设计很多时候无须苦思闷想，保持好奇是种状态，有好奇就会观察，积累记忆，这些记忆你可以忘记，粹片却永远留在脑皮层，需要时自然而然就会冒出来。我的设计观是无须设计，也没有什么理论与观念，因为身边的一切都在帮你做着设计，你只需要去拿。

You don’t have to rack your brains to design. To keep curious and observant will help you accumulate memories. Those fractions of memories remaining in  the cerebral cortex will appear automatically if needed.
I don’t design for the purpose of design itself. I don’t stick to any theories or ideas. Because everything around you will help you design, what you need to do is to accept.
