Jony Ive's LoveFrom Designs Award for Companies With Sustainable Practices

I'd imagine, like most awards, it's a big deal to the people receiving it but petty and political to the people who don't.
Very strong (and fitting) allusion to a Sacred Geometry pattern called the "Flower of Life", a pattern known to symbolise Nature, Life & God, found in various forms on Ancient and megalithic structures. Very Nice Jony
It IS the dongle!
I hope it's compostable. My tomatoes, peppers, beans, peas, onions, and carrots could really use some mulch!
Yep, probably.
I am going to sell some dog turd in my front yard as NFT. Hey, no smell and you don't have to wash your hands or use that inside-out plastic baggie to handle it!
I like yours better!

Is it me, or does this quote by Ive make zero sense.
”"For decades at Apple, one of my preoccupations has been this idea that if we have discipline in our thinking practice we hold ourselves accountable with our thinking, and the result is that we can be light with our implementation. This really has become such a central part to the way that we see problems and the way that we practice."

iPad 1, still using every day, even though I have newer iPads at home. My favourite device, though severely outdated over the years. I wish it could go to iOS 6 though.
Prince Charles and his eco antiques. Let's save the world by you lot using eco bags, while I go to meetings in my jet. Same as the colossal g*t Gates, same sh*t, different ar*e
Honestly, where is the Superman, when you need him!
Are we going to report on everything Ive does post-Apple now Macrumors?
Puts a shade on the whole premise of the award, instead replacing any kind of sympathy with the very real suspicion that this whole schtick amounts to an elaborate pr trick for an irrelevant monarchy to keep it's power.
PS: The label is beautiful.
The design is gorgeous but the association with Prince Charles makes it reek of hypocrisy. What a shame. Just another circle jerk.
How would you suggest that Mr. Ive should have done a commission from an initiative lead by Prince Charles without it being associated with Prince Charles, then?
Don't associate with Prince Charles and leverage the goodwill you have built up during your own "successful" career to endorse environmental causes. But again, the announcement juxtaposing with COP21 reeks of opportunism.
Getting awarded by a Jonny Ive award is pretty meaningless. It’s not a ‘big deal’ or anywhere close to being prestigious.
My thoughts as well. While I miss the 3d effects of earlier versions of iOS icons, I see this almost as overcompensation from an unhealthy obsession with minimalism.

Petty and political? I’m guessing you didn’t get one?
In Apple’s next keynote instead of talking big about how sustainable and environmentally friendly they are, I’d like Tim Cook to justify why the vast majority of Apple’s manufacturing is still done in China when they won’t even attend COP and are the world’s largest source of CO2.
You mean, he could just refuse, like you would. Or, maybe, he is a designer and he just wanted to do what he likes the most, "his job". It was actually really kind of him, being nice to an ugly person, like prince Charles.
As a Frenchman, I summon you, snail demons, to unleash your rage upon that royal hypocrite.
Clearly the problem is the commission with Prince Charles.
Bizarre you can’t see him as a free man capable of using his talents to start his own initiatives.
