At one point last winter, when we were working on the Nest office in Zürich, we had to bring and install the Kite lamps we designed to Switzerland. So we drove there in Hans’ ancient Volvo with a bunch of metal and fabric in the back, hoping they would last the German highway, with the plan to put them together in the hotel. We had booked a cheap hotel in advance and paid no attention whatsoever to the characteristics of the room. Turns out, the rooms at the Etap hotel, Technopark, Zürich, are not that big. At all. Not to mention the very awesome, classic, early-nineties interior design of the room. So, with help of a bottle of wine, some potato chips and an endless sense of humor, we found ourselves sitting on the bed in the tiny room, surrounded by packaging material and other crap, putting the lamps together in the middle of the night.. Of course I knocked over a paper cup filled with coco-scented shampoo that we were using as a lubricant to connect the lamps, onto the bed, so Hans smelled like a Gogo-dancer for the next 2 days.
