Q What does drawing light
means for you?
R.R. Either derision, Christian
guilt, paranoia, or existential
difficulty are the necessary
drivers of research and development work.
Q What is the most complicated aspect in
designing a lamp?
R.R. To run the exception one runs the
ridiculous, said a philosopher of the
Enlightenment. The trap is there! Originality
has become the kitsch of pornography.
Q Where does the inspiration for your Nemo
lamps come from?
R.R. The economy of material, recycling,
resistance to destruction were the
doctrinaire basis of this creation.
Q The ideal place where you would like to
see your work installed?
R.R. I don’t have that fantasy!
Q The future of lighting design from your
point of view?
R.R. The less we enlighten, the better we’ll be!
The cultivation of artificial light must not
become exhibitionism.
