“Chingford-boy-made-good” - The Sun profiles Jonathan
The Sun has published a feature on Jonathan Ive with the inspired title “Chingford boy is Mr Ive-pod”.
For those that don’t know it, The Sun it is infamous in the UK as a low-brow tabloid that mixes celebrity gossip and soft porn with pub politics.
Yet it can now claim Jonathan Ive as an avid reader, according to the article which states “the design genius displays his good taste by regularly reading The Sun in California”.
I sincerely hope this is a) a joke or b) Jonathan being ironic.
While the article shares little else new about Jonathan its still fun to read about our Jony in monosyllabic van-driver speak; describing him as “stickler for detail” and explaining that his status as a super-designer was “rubber-stamped” by his entry in Who’s Who.
