Hjert: I do not think we got much influence from other Swedish designers. I think we got more influence from other things besides design.
Lang: It is not like we do not like Swedish designers, but we got more from other things.
Hjert: We were up north last summer, and traveling to the north of Sweden inspired us a lot.
Karlsson: I think people and nature influenced us the most.
Hjert: Because design does not belong to designers. Design and designers are not equal.
Style-pd: What is your dream?
Hjert: I am building a boat now. We will have it ready by next summer. I want to go sailing next year! We don't think about the distant future. We take one thing at a time.
Karlsson: I want to be happy!
