Stephen Fry writing for The Telegraph:
Until now, Ive’s job title has been Senior Vice President of Design. But I can reveal that he has just been promoted and is now Apple’s Chief Design Officer. It is therefore an especially exciting time for him.
Chief Design Officer is a newly created position. Richard Howarth will become VP of Industrial Design (the hardware) and Alan Dye will become VP of User Interface Design (the software). The move is effective July 1st. They both still report to Jony Ive. His new position will allow him to bear on the retail stores and the new Apple Headquarters (the Spaceship).
Jony’s signature will be everywhere. The oak chairs, the desks which people can raise or lower with little buttons. Foster + Partners have 70 or 80 working on the project in London and another 40 on site.
The blogosphere and medias are going to relay this for a while. Mark Gurman obtained the email from CEO Tim Cook to Apple employees. It is funny to see that the scoop on that english man was published by another english man on an english website.
