Poverty Quote by Giles Colborne

““Simplicity does not mean want or poverty. It does not mean the absence of any decor, or absolute nudity. It only means that the decor should belong intimately to the design proper, and that anything foreign to it should be taken away. —Paul Jacques Grillo (Form, Function and Design)””
