What factor/s do you consider before taking up a project and working with the prospective client?

All work is good if done with complete dedication; whether the project is small or big does not matter. There is a lot of flexibility in our design theory, but interiors are more than designing. What we like to do is really connect with a client, so that we are all on the same wavelength as we proceed with the project. That is the only way, in our minds, to get the desired results. Please mention two role models in the design industry. What do you admire the most about them?

Christopher Guy; Furniture - Bold and one of a kind and Polyform - Classic/Simple furniture.
