Steve Jobs...

A true design legend of the century...Steve Jobs has touched so many lives through his innovation and ingenuity...truly an icon of our era.


“In most people’s vocabularies, design means veneer. It’s interior decorating. It’s the fabric of the curtains of the sofa. But to me, nothing could be further from the meaning of design. Design is the fundamental soul of a human-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.” — Steve Jobs

Also a patrons of the arts and architecture, Steve Jobs has also pushed the envelope in architecture.
Looking forward to his next great legacy the new Apple Campus in Cupertino, commisioned to Fosters +Partners, in 2015

“It’s a circle, and so it’s curved all the way around. As you know if you build things, this is not the cheapest way to build something. There’s not a straight piece of glass on this building, it’s all curved. And we’ve used our experience in making retail buildings all over the world now, and we know how to make the biggest pieces of glass in the world for architectural use.” — Steve Jobs, presenting the new Apple Campus to the city of Cupertino, CA.
