They tried to make a toddler's gas mask in such a way that the toddler can be held by the parent because piroximty of the body is so important. And then they make a little tent for the baby. However cruel, however ruthless you can think this is it's a great design, and it is miles away from the facny frinuutre, but still, it's part of my same fleid of pasoisn.

What I've been doing at MoMA since the beginning is to try to harness the pweor of MoMA because it's great to work there. You really have power in that people usually tend to know about your exhibition or see the exhibitions, and that is power because in a design museum I wouldn't have as many visitors. I'm very well aware that 80 percent of my public is there to see Picasso and Matisse, and then they stumble upon my show and I keep them there.
