News of the potential deal comes less than a week after Pinterest co-founder Evan Sharp announced plans to leave the company to join LoveFrom, a firm led by Jony Ive, the designer of many iconic Apple products. ‘This really has become such a central part to the way that we see problems and the way that we practice.’Īs part of the Terra Carta Action Forum at COP26 in Glasgow, on 4 November 2021, Wallpaper* editor-in-chief Sarah Douglas will be speaking with His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales and Jony Ive on the subject of design and sustainability.Sharp founded the online scrapbook and photo-sharing platform along with Ben Silbermann, who is the company's chief executive officer, and Paul Sciarra, who left in 2012. ‘For decades at Apple, one of my preoccupations has been this idea that if we have discipline in our thinking practice we hold ourselves accountable with our thinking, and the result is that we can be light with our implementation,’ he continues. The project reflects LoveFrom’s creative process Ive describes the team’s aim ‘to be heavy with our thinking and light with our implementation’. ![]() ‘For this project it would seem natural and obvious to work with them, it was a natural partnership.’ The text is letterpressed onto handmade paper made by James Cropper’s Paper Foundation at its mill in Burneside, Cumbria – a workshop using solar and hydro power and with a connection to Prince Charles, who visited the location in 2018. Used for the commemorative summarium, the paper-engineered seal was crafted using a combination of printing, embossing, die-cutting and micro-perforation. In addition to the digital seal, LoveFrom has created a paper seal in collaboration with British paper mill James Cropper. You can see the typography is clearly central to the seal, but I was seduced by the gentle, slightly anarchic dominance of the natural references.’Īs well as the flora and fauna that can be seen in the seal, the team was also inspired by patterns and compositions found in the work of William Morris, Josef Frank, Nick Knight and Christopher Marley, and in the sacred geometry of nature, from shells to the structure of plants, galaxies and meteorological phenomena. ‘We thought we would use this typeface for our friends we couldn’t think of a better way to take advantage of a few years of work around the Terra Carta, and I think it works really quite well. ‘We spent all this time creating a typeface that we would use for our identity: we didn’t want a logo, we wanted something far more modest, more similar to a dialogue,’ says Ive of creating the LoveFrom Serif, inspired by John Baskerville’s letterforms and based on studies of his original punches and matrices. ![]() Initially conceived as a black and white graphic, the core of the design is defined by typography: LoveFrom’s own bespoke serif, not commercially available and used exclusively for special projects such as this, surrounded and taken over by nature. ![]() ![]() The seal design is sincere, modest and beautiful, its intricacies conveying the complexity and weight of the meaning behind it.
