More quotes by Jonathan Ive
A small change at the beginning of the design process defines an entirely different product at the end.
Jonathan Ive
There's no learning without trying lots of ideas and failing lots of times.
Jonathan Ive
As consumers we are incredibly discerning, we sense where has been great care in the design, and when there is cynicism and greed.
Jonathan Ive
I am keenly aware that I benefit from a wonderful tradition in the UK of designing and making.
Jonathan Ive
Really great design is hard. Good is the enemy of great. Competent design is not too much of a stretch. But if you are trying to do something new, you have challenges on so many axes.
Jonathan Ive
Apple stood for something and had a reason for being that wasn't just about making money.
Jonathan Ive
Making the solution seem so completely inevitable and obvious, so uncontrived and natural - it's so hard!
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
The word design is everything and nothing. The design and the product itself are inseparable.
Jonathan Ive
If you're not trying to do something better, then you're not focused on the customer and you'll miss the possibility of making your business great.
Jonathan Ive
With the early prototypes, I held the phone to my ear and my ear [would] dial the number. You have to detect all sorts of ear-shapes and chin shapes, skin colour and hairdo... that was one of just many examples where we really thought, perhaps this isn’t going to work.
Jonathan Ive
The nature of having ideas and creativity is incredibly inspiring.
Jonathan Ive
Apple's Jony Ive describes his fanatical approach to design in new interview
Jonathan Ive
I discovered at an early age that all I've ever wanted to do is design.
Jonathan Ive
I left London in 1992, but I'm there 3-4 times a year, and love visiting.
Jonathan Ive
I think it’s a wonderful view that care was important – but I think you can make a one-off and not care and you can make a million of something and care. Whether you really care or not is not driven by how many of the products you’re going to make.
Jonathan Ive
It's one of the curses of designing that when you look at anything, you're constantly thinking, Why? Why - why was it designed like that, and not like this?
Jonathan Ive
I think there is a profound and enduring beauty in simplicity in clarity, in efficiency. True simplicity is derived from so much more than just the absence of clutter and ornamentation. It's about bringing order to complexity.
Jonathan Ive
Its difficult to do something radically new, unless you are at the heart of a company.
Jonathan Ive
Being superficially different is the goal of so many of the products we see... rather than trying to innovate and genuinely taking the time, investing the resources and caring enough to try and make something better.
Jonathan Ive
