  • "Hi Aaron. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I get the impression it wasn't quite your cup of tea. Naturally, it hurts a little to read what you wrote, but you're clearly passionate about design and I respect that. Likewise, I do appreciate and take onboard all constructive feedback, and understand that as designers our creations have the ability to delight some people and fill others with despair. And with that in mind, I feel very fortunate to have received lots of positive feedback about my chair at New Designers and elsewhere, but do respect that you didn't like it and that some others may not either. But that's ok, and it should be that way if we're to continute to push, explore and develop designs that challenge our broader expectations in terms of function as well as form.This chair was part of my very first collection and was the product of a couple of months of intense research, design, prototyping and making, and I loved every moment of the process, and I look forward to designing and making many more pieces over the decades to come - who knows, maybe you'll see some of those pieces and they'll resonate with you ;) I'd be interested to see if my other pieces in the collection on my site inspire a similar or perhaps completely different reaction.I'm sure you'd agree that as designers, individuals, and creative beings we shouldn't be defined by, or crippled by criticism, but instead fuelled by a positive curiosity and enthusiasm to make objects that can make the spaces we inhabit more engaging, fulfilling and aesthetically charming. It's a journey for sure, but one I'm optimistic and excited to be starting out on. It's not always (or ever, perhaps) going to be plain sailing.Again, thanks for taking the time and consideration to write your comment, and take care."
