"I'm really inspired by the environment around me," Rexhepi says. "I get ideas when I see shapes, especially when I travel." Rexhepi references a trip he and Teresa took to Rome a couple years ago, where he was inspired by the architecture of old buildings, churches, even the shapes of windows and doors. At this point, Teresa jumps in to confirm that yes, Rexhepi really does pause mid-stroll, taking out his phone to draw shapes he sees, connecting them to a gear or wheel on a movement, and that yes, it can be terribly annoying. Rexhepi says he'll also take inspiration from cars, clothes, flea markets, or the items that Teresa sells at her vintage boutique in Geneva.
