Interview of Yona Lee, Director of YONA LEE DESIGN STUDIO, regarding their partnership with the FSR :
Why become a Partner of the FSR?
"I was immediately excited to take the project on as I am passionate about rugby and design - it seemed like a perfect match. In my youth I was part of the very first women's rugby team in South Korea, so the sport is very close to my heart."
What are the common values between your company and Rugby?
"Design is a team sport. And rugby is an art. Between the two, there's lots of common ground. I would say passion, creativity, technical skills, and team work. Behind any great result - in sport or in design - there is a dedicated team of hard-working, creative people, full of energy."
Will you advise another company to support the Swiss Rugby?
"I would encourage other companies to support Suisse Rugby or any other sport of their passion. In my case, it is Suisse Rugby because I believe that rugby is a dynamic sport, where teamwork, strategy, creativity, technical know-hows and perseverance all come into place."
How do you consider the evolution of Rugby in Switzerland?
"I hope rugby in Switzerland will continue to grow its fan base, and that our support will play a role in improving FSR’s visibility."
