• Top 18 of the best designs through time – chosen by Jonathan Ive & Marc Newson. I thought these where quite interesting. I do think that they should also put other things on the list like: the wheel, invention of fire, the car and many more.. but these are good choices!

  Something unsurprising happens when you task two star designers to curate a catalog of their favorite objects: You end up with a collection of well-designed products. This is exactly what happened when Sotheby’s tapped Jony Ive and Marc Newson to pull together a list of goods to be auctioned off at the (RED) Auction, which is raising money for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

Ive and Newson were essentially given free reign to choose more than 40 of their favorite designs throughout history. As Newson told us earlier, the resulting catalog is an eclectic collection of objects that shrugs off the personality-focused world of contemporary design. “There are a lot of unsung design heroes out there,” Newson says. “A lot of the objects we chose for us in some way represent the antithesis of personality-driven design.”
