Jony Ive was at the London Design Museum last night and gave a wide-ranging talk covering everything from the state of education in design schools to the Apple Watch.
Talking to Design Museum director Deyan Sudjic in front of an audience which included Ive’s sometime collaborator Marc Newson and Terence Conran, Ive said: ‘So many of the designers that we interview don’t know how to make stuff, because workshops are expensive and computers are cheaper.’
‘That’s just tragic, that you can spend four years of your life studying the design of three-dimensional objects and not make one,’ he added.
