It might probably generally take as much as a 12 months to get one thing proper. After which [there is] our ongoing problem that we’re at all times eager about, which is making an attempt to problem consumerism in our design course of, in addition to making an attempt to push the boundaries of what responsibly sourced supplies can obtain.’
