We are humbled and moved to launch the last two product stories he had finalized with the team. In the next months, we will come together to honor Alber with a celebration of his life and his visionary work, aiming to bring the same level of passion and love that he brought to us each day. – Laurent Malecaze, AZ Factory Chief Executive Officer
