Jony Ive will be always be hailed as the designer who helped turn a struggling computer company into the world’s first trillion-dollar business. The departure of Apple’s chief design officer to found a new design company signifies the turn of a page in the history of industrial design. The British-born Ive, knighted in 2012, helped turn Apple into a producer of devices built around innovative design. The company will need to maintain his creative approach, even as it pivots away from relying on iPhones as its primary money-spinner.
