A great day at Material ConneXion's Malfatto Conference. Here are the Quotes of the Day, completely out of context:
Beylarian: "Malfatto is a style of liberation and individuality." Patton: "The pasta [extrusion] machine is a small parable of malfatto at work." "We're analog, and we should be proud of it." Pesce: "Time is a traitor; when we finally understand one thing, time is a cantalever�the times change, and we are 'out of time.'" [Quoting a father figure]: "The best thing to do is to do." "Abandon the stupidity of the ideal beauty." Onnig: "[In fiction and movies], people put the gun to the head now; they used to put it to the heart." Edelkoort: "[The box] isn't necessarily a bad thing. When people move, they don't unpack their boxes once they get to the new place, cause they love to live without their things�almost to free ourselves; the box is a freedom thing." Thackara: "Powerdrills are used for 10 minutes of their entire lives; Most CDs are used only once in their entire lives." "40% of Americans and 35% of Europeans are on anti-depressants." Henderson: "The problem is not that too many products lack aesthetic diversity, but lack original thought." Ludwig: "We don't want to turn it into a slogan: 'Got Malfatto?'" Carter: "Cool kids never wear their clothes off the hanger."
