Jonathan Ive

Ive was born in February 1967 in Chingford, a northern London suburb. He studied art and design at Newcastle Polytechnic (now Northumbria University). After graduating in 1989, he cofounded Tangerine, a London-based design consultancy that counted Apple among its clients. In 1992 Apple offered Ive a full-time position at its headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. He accepted, but it was not until Apple cofounder Steve Jobs returned to the troubled company as CEO in 1997 that the real impact of Ive's design ethos began to be felt.
Working on the belief that the computer had become the centre of home life, Ive, since 1997 Apple's vice president of industrial design, fashioned machines that were sleek, touchable, and amenable to display. Ease and simplicity of use—his watchwords—were achieved by devoting “obsessive attention to details that are often overlooked.” Ive's design for the first iMac, for example, called for reshaping the processor to fit within the machine's colourful shell and thus dramatically shrank the computer's footprint. Subsequent designs reflected his continuing effort to maximize efficiency and convenience for the user. The 2000 Power Mac G4 Cube could be easily removed from its one-piece plastic housing for internal access, and air circulated freely through its suspended core, obviating the need for noisy fans. Processor, drives, wireless technology, and even the power supply were incorporated into the 26.9-cm (10.6-in)-wide base of the 2002 flat-panel iMac. The 2003 PowerBook G4, launched as the world's lightest and slimmest laptop computer, included a 43-cm (17-in) LCD screen, a backlit keyboard, the latest wireless technology, and a bevy of other features that brought Ive's vision of the comforts of home to computing on the road.
