Jonathan Ive / Apple Design

If you're curious as to who's behind a lot of the current industrial designs (hardware) at Apple, then you'll want to check out this interview.

From the iMac, to the G4 Cube, to the iPod, and PowerBook, Ive's efforts combined with those of the Apple Design Team have provided us with some of the sleekest, and sexiest Apple products yet. His use of color cases in the iMacs and iBooks drew in the creative crowd; and his absence of it in the G5 and current PowerBook lines, keeps the products looking clean, appealing to professionals.

For his efforts, and in addition to the numerous awards he's already received, Jonathan Ive was chosen as the 2003 winner of Design Museum's Inaugural Designer of the Year award.
