“I believe that a good design is one that integrates the five human senses: sight, touch, smell, taste, and hearing, and converges into a ‘form’ with a certain purpose. I think this is because there is a common sense that naturally exists in both the designer and the user […] I think that when designers design something, they should find the laws that already exist in nature and give them shape.”

—Kazumasa Nagai (date unknown)
