John Pawson - Recovering simplicity [ ENG ]

The face-to-face meeting with John Pawson at Milan's cultural hub, Listone Giordano Arena, proved to be a pleasant moment of discovery.
The architect, designer, photographer, author, poet of light and 'father' (not by choice) of minimalism, holds fast to his image as a true English gentleman, attentive and sensitive, the quintessence of simplicity as evoked by his latest publishing effort, a visual biography entitled 'Making life simpler'.
The English space maker - as he likes to call himself - embodies the very symbol of purity, order and balance; he has experienced the value of simplicity as a way of life, and not just as a design process. An invitation to enter his life, dedicated to the pursuit of the most rigorous simplicity (synonymous with complexity) in all his works, while remaining true to himself, through no less than four decades in the profession.
His skilfull renovations of historic buildings are rooted in a passion for detail and the rediscovered relationship between nature and architecture. In this interview, John Pawson offers a reflection consistent with the principles of his own well-established vision, drawing an ideal line between experience and spiritual bearing, thus giving voice to a personal contemporary expression.

anyone know the dining chairs at his table?

[@marinaulmane1438]

He designed them, as I’ve understood. He is talking a lot about them, to create a chair is one of the most difficult things, as he said.
