What we make testifies who we are. People can sense care and can sense carelessness.

We don't do focus groups - that is the job of the designer.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

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 103 quotes

True simplicity is, well, you...

True simplicity is, well, you just keep on going and going until you get to the point where you go... Yeah, well, of course.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

Titles or organizational structures, that’s not the lens through which we see our peers.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

One of the hallmarks of the t...

One of the hallmarks of the team is this sense of looking to be wrong. It's the inquisitiveness, and sense of exploration. It's about being excited to be wrong, because then you've discovered something new.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

Being superficially different...

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 103 quotes

So much of what we try to do ...

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 103 quotes

That's an interesting thing a...

That's an interesting thing about an object. One object speaks volumes about the company that produced it and its values and priorities.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

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 103 quotes

We have always thought about ...

We have always thought about design as being so much more than just the way something looks. It's the whole thing: the way something works on so many different levels. Ultimately, of course, design defines so much of our experience.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

To do something innovative me...

To do something innovative means that you reject reason.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

The design process is about designing and prototyping and making. When you separate those, I think the final result suffers.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

We don't do focus groups - that is the job of the designer. It's unfair to ask people who don't have a sense of the opportunities of tomorrow from the context of today to design.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

We’re surrounded by anonymous...

We’re surrounded by anonymous, poorly made objects. It’s tempting to think it’s because the people who use them don’t care - just like the people who make them. But what we’ve shown is that people do care. It’s not just about aesthetics. They care about things that are thoughtfully conceived and well made. We make and sell a very, very large number of (hopefully) beautiful, well-made things. our success is a victory for purity, integrity - for giving a damn.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

In our quest to quickly make ...

In our quest to quickly make three-dimensional objects, we can miss out on the experience of making something that helps give us our first understandings of form and material, of the way a material behaves--'I press too hard here, and it breaks here' and so on. Some of the digital rendering tools are impressive, but it's important that people still really try and figure out a way of gaining direct experience with the materials.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

The defining qualities are about use: ease and simplicity. Caring beyond the functional imperative, we also acknowledge that products have a significance way beyond traditional views of function.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

I’m always focussed on the ac...

I’m always focussed on the actual work, and I think that’s a much more succinct way to describe what you care about than any speech I could ever make.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

When our tools are broken, we...

When our tools are broken, we feel broken. And when somebody fixes one, we feel a tiny bit more whole.

Jonathan Ive 103 quotes

The memory of how we work will endure beyond the products of our work.
