“Heatherwick Studio’s imaginative approach to design has yielded an extraondinarily diverse body of work that defies easy categorization and eschews any notion of a signature style. Engaging in a collaborative iterative design process, the studio asks questions, poses provocations, tests ideas, and makes models and prototypes to arrive at the best solution. From the smallest to the largest project, the studio strives to use materials and forms at a human scale, the scale at which, as Thomas Heatherwick says ‘people touch, experience, and live in the world.’ ” — Cooper Hewitt
