TRANSLATION:

To be invited to a project like the Olympic Games and at home, yes, it's a designer's dream. It's a designer's dream because these are things that I like, because they are very technical objects, very symbolic, that last, that doesn't just belong to the history of designers, but belongs to history. So it's something we can't refuse. And I must admit that they gave me a lot of freedom. At the time when the competition was launched, there was a great freedom of inspiration and design. I think I will only have this experience once in my life, but I have certainly taken advantage of it.
