LARS TORNØE ON HIS DESIGN PHILOSOPHY I select my ideas very carefully. A concept has to give me great motivation, otherwise I kill it. A lot of my initial ideas include an abstract vision of the expression and personality the product should communicate. Translating this into physical form is my favorite part of the design process.
