Where should we go next?
6:02
You know, I think we go to the actual influences.

The amount of time spent within industrial design and working on architectural projects in Geneva has all kind of filtered into what we're doing here.

This value on function is at the core of what we're doing.

It had to be about making sure your success isn't a single moment, but that the success can then become a moment in time as a, a platform for others and, you know.
22:03
To kind of crystallize that, we've run a, a grant independently which takes an apportion of our profits annually and puts it forward into these institutions and independent artists and designers and thinkers and engineers to make sure they have a direct pipeline to resource and also connections.
