He declines to characterize his work as one particular genre - ``I'm all over the place,'' he said but emphasizes that the one thing that always runs through his rooms is that they are accessible, easy and comfortable. Clarke gets ideas from his extensive travels, but ``my clients are inspiring. I work back from their ideas,'' he says. The result? ``You would have a feeling in the room that you actually (designed) it, but it's 20 times better,'' he said, ``because I can apply all my knowledge. But it still feels like it's yours.'' Clarke won't have an official booth at the show, but that doesn't mean he won't be in attendance. `'I'll definitely be shopping,'' he said.
