"I made the switch from architecture because I wanted to be more hands-on, to cut the distance between myself and the product. The other week I was at the factory working on a chair design. I wasn’t satisfied with the shape of the backrest so I took it off and went straight to the machine, modified it and worked it out this way. That’s what I really like, this spontaneous way of working and that scale of a project." - Guillaume Sasseville
