RY TO IMAGINE a world without iPhones and iPads. If it weren't for
Jonathan "Jony" Ive, some of the most iconic products of the last decade
might not have been-at least the way we recognize them. The industrial
designer first came to Apple in 1992, even before Steve Jobs returned to the
helm. But after meeting Jobs, a partnership ensued that would lead to Apple
being recognized for making technical items look and feel beautiful, and for
escalating consumer expectations for such design in everyday items.
"We try to develop products that seem somehow inevitable, that leave you with the sense
that that's the only possible solution that makes sense," Ive told London's Daily Telegraph in
a rare interview in May 2012.
Ive has led Apple's design team since 1996, and under his direction, the company's designs
have been so game-changing that some items are featured in permanent collections around
the world, like at MOMA in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Sir Ive is a London
native, and was knighted in 2012 by the Queen "for services to design and enterprise."

ARIETY IS THE spice of life for Lori Travis Kolthoff, who has been in the industry for 33 years, and with
FRCH since 1999. Over the past year, her creative energy has infused an array of restaurants and retailers,
from Cincinnati favorite Skyline Chili to American Girl.
"It's all so different, so I get to be engaged in something brand new and unique," she says. "I want to help
brands get to the next level. I want them to go someplace they've never been before."
Beyond leading creative at FRCH, Kolthoff is responsible for maintaining an extensive materials library at
the firm. Kolthoff says she is fascinated by biomimicry-the imitation of natural elements and systems to solve
human problems-and how it relates to materials.
"Striking the perfect balance of science and design is an important part of improving the quality of a new
environment," she says. "Surrounding myself with sources and research connections that include ideas from
other industries, such as automotive, military, etc., and looking at what might cross-pollinate into our next
product introduction helps to keep me ahead of the current trends. In researching the world of biomimicry and
the explosion of the combination of 'materiality plus machine' from the development of 3-D printing, we all
have a new world of products coming our way, and it's important to know what they are."
Kolthoff's quest for unique materials to use in every project means she is not shy about asking for what she
wants. "If we designers don't push for new products, manufacturers will not make them," she notes. "I might
even propose some things I've learned through biomimicry and see if they will make it."
