PD : Do you have any particular dream for the future?
JB : I had a dream previously, to row to Paris, and I did so. Since then my life has changed quite drastically, most towards a positive direction since I became a father. Now I am mostly focused on spending time with my son, and having a good time together so that he will grow up in a good way.

He is six and a half, but he takes up a very large part of my life. In a way I have transferred my focus from design to him. It takes up much more of my heart and my brain than my work right now. When he becomes older, maybe I'll come back to focus on my work more intensively. I used to work at least twelve hours a day, seven days a week. Now I work six hours a day, four days a week. So I do not have any dreams in my work. My dreams are placed somewhere else right now. But one consistent dream is to enjoy everyday, try to discover something new, and have the playfulness kept intact. I believe that this is the most important thing.
