Apple’s senior vice president of industrial design, Jonathan Ive has won a prestigious design award. Ive was named one of the top 10 designers in the US National Design Awards. He was awarded the accolade for designing the iMac, iBook and iPod products.

The awards were presented at the White House by First Lady, Laura Bush who said;

“[The] union of form and function has changed the way we peel potatoes and brush our teeth. Your design has made it more fun to go back in time and play oldies on our iPods and to really go back in time by doctoring our photos on Photoshop.”

The awards are sponsored by the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.
