“Function and technology are the two cornerstones of modernism,we reject neither, but what we strongly reject is the idea that function and technology are somehow more important than emotion,the obsession of the post-industrial age with the notion that thought is more important than feeling, ego more important than id.”——Fredrik Sonstallard
