Arcane character: kills someone and steals their money Arcane soundtrack: “sometimes i kill people and steal their money. how did it come to this? killing people (killing people) and stealing their money”



Jony Ive’s design firm LoveFrom is charging up to $200m a year to design new products. Clients include Airbnb (new review system), Ferrari (touchscreen), Christie’s (auction stand) and OpenAI (AI hardware). The most visible product yet is a “reinvented” button for a Moncler jacket. According to Fast Company, Ive set out to solve a tricky clothing design problem (“How do you connect a hard object to a flexible one?”). The LoveFrom team created a coin size magnetic button that you press to connect different layers of the Moncler jacket with no threads required (the magnetic button acts similar to the magnetic effect of closing an AirPod cases). Moncler LoveForm jackets are out this fall at a price of $2,000 and will also have the LoveFrom logo (a brown bear, like the one from California’s flag). Ive named the firm — which employs many former Apple colleagues — LoveFrom in honor of Steve Jobs, who said one of the ways to express appreciation for humanity was “the acting of making something with a great deal of care and love”, per NYT. *** Deep dive on the button: fastcompany.com/91185536/jony-… Profile from NYT (including the “up to $200m a year” design fee detail): nytimes.com/2024/09/21/tec…
