Looking at that, without reading the text, I thought immediately that it looked like Marc Newson's work rather than Jony Ive's.
Then I read the text:
> Apple's feted design chief teamed up with industrial designer Marc Newson
I would say that Marc did most of this, and Jony either just created the collaboration and put his name to it, or his touch was reasonably light.
The only part that really looks like Ive's stamp is the perforated aluminium. Every other curve, the buttons and balance of the design, scream Newson.
- huxley 13y agoReally? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see it, there is a Dieter Rams influence to it that says Jony Ive more than Marc Newson to me.
- aray 13y agoIt really screamed Rams to me as well (much more than Ive), even more than Newson as well. It doesn't look to me like a Rams/Braun product though, but a product that's trying to be one.
- veemjeem 13y agoIt looks more like an Ive design than a Newson. Newson designed a Pentax camera last year, and it doesn't seem like any of those design elements made it into this Leica camera design.
- 9999 13y agoThe shutter speed dial really looks like Ive's work to me. Although it's hard to say. This Leica bears absolutely no resemblance to Newson's Pentax K-01, but perhaps that's just because the K-01 was a camera that was actually intended to be used rather than stuffed away in a billionaire Leica fanatic's collection.
