Sir Jonathan Paul Ive (born 27 February 1967) is a British-American designer.<ref name="Great Immigrants-2024">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> He is best known for his work at Apple Inc., where he was senior vice president of industrial design and chief design officer.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Ive is the founder of LoveFrom, a creative collective that works with Ferrari, Airbnb, OpenAI and other global brands.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> He has been chancellor of the Royal College of Art in London since 2017.

Ive joined Apple in September 1992, and was promoted to senior vice president of industrial design in the late 1990s after the return of co-founder Steve Jobs. He was Chief Design Officer from 2015 until his departure in July 2019. Working closely with Jobs, Ive played a vital role in the designs of products including the Apple Watch, iMac, Power Mac G4 Cube, iPod, iPhone, iPad, MacBook, and the user interface of Apple's mobile operating system iOS. He was also responsible for the design of major architectural projects including Apple Park and Apple Stores.

Born in London, Ive lived there until his family moved to Stafford when he was about 12. He studied design at Newcastle Polytechnic Template:Efn and later joined the London-based design firm Tangerine, where he worked on client projects for LG and Ideal Standard as well as Apple.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> After leaving Tangerine to join Apple full time, he began designing the decade's PowerBooks and Macs. He acquired US citizenship in 2012.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="Great Immigrants-2024" /> He was invited to join the Royal College of Art in May 2017 as its head of college, serving a fixed five-year term until May 2022.

Ive has received accolades and honours for his designs and patents. In the United Kingdom, he has been appointed a Royal Designer for Industry (RDI), an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (HonFREng), and a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE).

Early life and educationEdit

Jonathan Paul Ive was born on 27 February 1967 in Chingford, London, United Kingdom.<ref name="Sullivan-2014">Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="Richmond-2012">Template:Cite news Template:Cbignore</ref> His father, Michael Ive, was a silversmith who lectured at Middlesex Polytechnic, and his grandfather was an engineer.<ref name="Sullivan-2014" /> While attending secondary school, he was diagnosed with dyslexia.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Ive was inspired to become a designer by his teenage love of cars. He investigated car design courses in London, including one at the Royal College of Art, but was repelled by the students: "The classes were full of students making vroom! vroom! noises as they drew."<ref name="Time" /> He studied industrial design at Newcastle Polytechnic, where he was introduced to forms of design inspired by the Bauhaus. The Bauhaus expressed the idea of only including what is needed into designs. This philosophy can be seen in his work with Apple.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> While at Newcastle, some of his designs – including a telephone and a hearing aid – were exhibited at the Design Museum in London.<ref name="Sullivan-2014" /> He graduated with a first class Bachelor of Arts in 1989.<ref name="Sullivan-2014" />

CareerEdit

Ive's designs at polytechnic garnered him the RSA Student Design Award in 1988 and 1989, which afforded him a small stipend and a travel expense account to use on a trip to the United States.<ref name="Dormehl-2012">Template:Cite book</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> He travelled to San Francisco, where he met designers including Robert Brunner, who ran a small consultancy firm that would later join Apple Computer.<ref name="Dormehl-2012" /> After returning to England six weeks later, Ive interned at the product design agency Roberts Weaver Group (his college sponsor), where he impressed executives with his attention to detail and work ethic.<ref name="Dormehl-2012" />

TangerineEdit

After a year with Roberts Weaver, Ive joined a London-based design agency, Tangerine, in Hoxton Square.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> He designed a diverse array of products, such as microwave ovens, toilets, drills and toothbrushes for clients including LG and Ideal Standard.<ref name="Time">Template:Cite magazine</ref> However, he became frustrated after he designed a toilet, bidet and sink for Ideal Standard, and the company rejected the work, stating that the products were too costly and looked too modern.<ref name=Time/><ref name="Seth">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> He became unhappy with his clients who had different ideas.<ref name="Time" />

From 1990 to 1992, Brunner tried to recruit Ive to Apple.<ref name="Dormehl-2012" /> During this time, Apple became a client of Tangerine. Ive worked on "Project Juggernaut" for Apple, investigating the future of portable computers and setting the stage for what would become the PowerBook.<ref name="Time" /><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

AppleEdit

Although Ive's studio began designing an iPad-like device before the iPhone, the iPad was first released in 2010.

He was formally recruited to Apple as a full-time employee in September 1992.<ref name="Time" /><ref name="Dormehl-2012" /> Ive was initially apprehensive about joining Apple given the move from the UK to the US.<ref name="Dormehl-2012" /> His first major assignment in Apple's Industrial Design Group regarded the second generation of the Newton and the MessagePad 110.<ref name="Time" /> A lack of emphasis on design during the early 1990s prompted Ive to consider quitting.<ref name="Time" />

Steve Jobs, who left in 1985 after being pushed away by John Sculley, was staging a return to the company and recruited Ive to join him in taking the firm in a different direction.<ref name="Time" /> Jon Rubinstein, Ive's boss at the time, managed to retain Ive as an employee by explaining that Apple was "going to make history" under Jobs in 1996.<ref name="Seth" />

Ive became the senior vice president of industrial design in 1997 heading up the industrial design team responsible for most of the company's significant hardware products.<ref name="Sullivan-2014" /> Ive's first assignment in this capacity was the iMac, introduced in 1998 (he is credited with designing its translucent plastic case). The iMac helped pave the way for many other designs such as the iPod and eventually the iPhone and the iPad.<ref name="fastcompany">Template:Cite magazine</ref> Ive became the first human to make a public phone call with Jobs after he introduced the iPhone on 9 January 2007.Template:Efn It was reported that Ive's desire for keeping the products as thin as possible may have led to the mechanically fragile butterfly keyboard<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> and removing the Magsafe power connector, HDMI port, and SD card reader from the MacBook.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Ive was given his own design office at Apple during the early 2000s in which he oversaw the work of his appointed design team, and he was the only Apple designer with a private office. Only his core team—which consisted of around 15 people from the UK, the US, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand (who had worked together for around two decades)—and top Apple executives were allowed into the office, because it contained all of the concepts, including prototypes, that the design team was working on.<ref name="Time" /> Ive did not allow his children to enter the office.<ref name="Seth" />

In 2011, it was reported that Ive was paid $30 million in base salary with a $25 million stock bonus for the year.<ref name="Phillip-2017">Template:Cite news</ref> His compensation ceased to be publicly disclosed by the firm thereafter, rendering him the only Apple executive to be afforded such a provision.<ref name="Phillip-2017" /> A year later, it was estimated that his net worth was £80 million.<ref name="Richmond-2012" />

Ive led the design and development of the Apple Watch beginning in early 2012.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The product was released in April 2015 and has become the best-selling wearable device in the world with 115 million people estimated wearing one as of December 2022.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Talking about the product, Ive said in 2018: "we were all routinely carrying around incredibly powerful products, in terms of their technical ability, in our pockets … an obvious continuation of this path that we’ve been on for so many years was to make technology more personal and more accessible."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Ive played a pivotal role, with Norman Foster, in the design of Apple Park (pictured) throughout much of the 2010s, which opened in 2017.

On 29 October 2012, Apple announced that Ive would "provide leadership and direction for Human Interface (HI) across the company, in addition to his role as the leader of Industrial Design."<ref name="applehi">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> With the 2013 World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) announcement of iOS 7 and Ive's role as principal, Apple press information was also updated to reflect his new title: senior vice president of design.<ref name="applehi" /> In the same press update, Ive stated that he hoped his best work was yet to emerge and that he preferred to be identified as a maker of products, rather than a designer.<ref name="applehi" /> On 26 May 2015, the firm announced that Ive was promoted to chief design officer (CDO), at the time one of only three C-level executives at Apple along with CEO Tim Cook and CFO Luca Maestri (Jeff Williams would be promoted to COO at the end of 2015).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> On 8 December 2017, Apple announced that Ive would resume direct responsibility for the company's product design.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

On 27 June 2019, Apple announced that Ive would depart Apple after 27 years.<ref name=":2">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Relationship with Steve JobsEdit

Ive described his rapport with Jobs in 2014: "When we were looking at objects, what our eyes physically saw and what we came to perceive were exactly the same. And we would ask the same questions, have the same curiosity about things."<ref name="Time" />

Jobs described Ive as his "spiritual partner at Apple", stating that

The difference that Jony has made, not only at Apple but in the world, is huge. He is a wickedly intelligent person in all ways. He understands business concepts, marketing concepts. He picks stuff up just like that, click. He understands what we do at our core better than anyone. If I had a spiritual partner at Apple, it's Jony. Jony and I think up most of the products together and then pull others in and say, 'Hey, what do you think about this?' He gets the big picture as well as the most infinitesimal details about each product. And he understands that Apple is a product company. He's not just a designer. That's why he works directly for me. He has more operational power than anyone else at Apple except me. There's no one who can tell him what to do, or to butt out. That's the way I set it up.<ref>Template:Cite news Template:Cbignore</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation

InfluencesEdit

The work and principles of Dieter Rams, the chief designer of Braun from 1961 until 1995, influenced Ive's work. In Gary Hustwit's documentary film Objectified (2009), Rams says that Apple is one of only a handful of companies existing today that design products according to his ten principles of good design.<ref name="braun_desevo">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name=":9">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Ive contributed an essay to a 2011 Rams monograph, Dieter Rams: As Little Design as Possible.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

He is also said to have been influenced by the Bauhaus tradition (known for its credos form follows function and less is more), which emerged in Germany during the 1920s and became a staple design approach adopted by the Ulm School of Design during the 1950s. The Bauhaus / Ulm design style was also adopted during the 1980s by luxury automotive brand Audi, which also influenced Jonathan Ive's designs (particularly his work with Apple), and has garnered comparisons in colour stencil, structure, and lighting design.<ref name=":9" /><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
