More quotes by Jonathan Ive
There are a thousand no's for every yes.
Jonathan Ive
That's just tragic, that you can spend four years of your life studying the design of three dimensional objects and not make one.
Jonathan Ive
It's just easier to talk about product attributes that you can measure with a number. Focus on price, screen size, that's easy. But there's a more difficult path, and that's to make better products, ones where maybe you can't measure their value empirically.
Jonathan Ive
Simplicity is not the absence of clutter, that's a consequence of simplicity. Simplicity is somehow essentially describing the purpose and place of an object and product. The absence of clutter is just a clutter-free product. That's not simple.
Jonathan Ive
If something is not good enough, stop doing it.
Jonathan Ive
The quest for simplicity has to pervade every part of the process. It really is fundamental.
Jonathan Ive
We shouldn't be afraid to fail- if we are not failing we are not pushing.
Jonathan Ive
I am keenly aware that I benefit from a wonderful tradition in the UK of designing and making.
Jonathan Ive

Jonathan Ive
We're very genuinely designing the best products that we can for people.
Jonathan Ive
Making the solution seem so completely inevitable and obvious, so uncontrived and natural - it's so hard!
Jonathan Ive
What we make testifies who we are. People can sense care and can sense carelessness.
Jonathan Ive
I figured out some basic stuff: that form and colour defines your perception of the nature of an object, whether or not it is intended to.
Jonathan Ive
A small change at the beginning of the design process defines an entirely different product at the end.
Jonathan Ive
So much of what we try to do is get to a point where the solution seems inevitable: you know, you think of course it's that way, why would it be any other way? It looks so obvious, but that sense of inevitability in the solution is really hard to achieve.
Jonathan Ive
There are 9 rejected ideas for every idea that works.
Jonathan Ive
Apple's Jony Ive describes his fanatical approach to design in new interview
Jonathan Ive
The word design is everything and nothing. The design and the product itself are inseparable.
Jonathan Ive
Designing and developing anything of consequence is incredibly challenging.
Jonathan Ive
Apple stood for something and had a reason for being that wasn't just about making money.
