Rare large-format coffee table art book: Designed by Apple in California. First edition, published by Apple, Inc. in 2016. Hardcover, 13 x 16.25, 300 pages, featuring 450 images of Apple products released from 1998 to 2015. Dedicated to the memory of Steve Jobs, the book features a foreword by celebrated designer Jony Ive, who explains: 'While this is a design book, it is not about the design team, the creative process, or product development. It is an objective representation of our work that, ironically, describes who we are. It describes how we work, our values, our preoccupations, and our goals. We have always hoped to be defined by what we do rather than by what we say. We strive, with varying degrees of success, to define objects that appear effortless. Objects that appear so simple, coherent, and inevitable that there could be no rational alternative.' Published in 'large' and 'small' versions, this is the more expensive—and thus scarcer—'large' edition. Sealed in its original box and in very fine condition.
