"[Ettore] Sottsass didn't care about copyright and neither do Nathalie [Du Pasquier] and I. People who copy designs aren't worth bothering about: they don't know what to do themselves and in that sense it is quite sad. They are using someone else's energy and diluting it. Creativity is a sacred thing, and if there's a copy of a copy of a copy, it doesn't produce anything except stupidity."
–– George Sowden (b. 1942), British designer and product developer
