Curiosity

More quotes by Jonathan Ive

To create something that's genuinely new, you have to start again, and I think with great intent, you disconnect from the past.

Ive (2012)

I think a beautiful product that doesn't work very well is ugly.

Very often design is the most immediate way of defining what products become in people's minds.

There's an applied style of being minimal and simple, and then there's real simplicity. This looks simple, because it really is.

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