Unknown Hipster: I’m amazed that being monks you had the idea to choose John Pawson.

Monk: One of us had wandered into the Calvin Klein store in New York, which had been designed by John. It was so pure, nothing distracted from the product, it was shopping taken to a religious level. Wouldn’t it make a wonderful monastery, we thought, if we replaced Fashion with God?

Unknown Hipster: You must have been a dream client…

Monk: In fact, unlike Calvin, we had a restricted budget, but this didn’t stop us from having discussions with John.

Unknown Hipster: Minimalism is a luxury… it’s much sought after by those who have everything.

Monk: Just like us… we have nothing, but we have everything.
