Jony Ive designar inte bara saker åt Apple, här ser vi även ett bord som han ritat fram tillsammans med Marc Newson. Bordet ska nu auktioneras ut och alla pengar som kommer in går till The Global Fund för att bekämpa AIDS, Tuberkulos och Malaria.

"When it came to designing a completely new object specifically for this auction, Jony and Marc knew they wanted to work in aluminum, a material that has long fascinated them. Their creation is a monolithic desk with an aerodynamic form machined from solid pieces of aluminum. It was produced by Neal Feay Studio in Santa Barbara, and the firm's principal considers The (RED) Desk to be a "historic piece with no precedent." The edge of the desk is extremely thin, almost blade-like, but perhaps the most entrancing aspect of the desk is its surface, with a unique cellular pattern that the designers liken to a jigsaw puzzle, with 185 pieces that seem to fit together. With its sublime combination of scale, detail, and refinement—and an innovative manufacturing process that made it possible—this desk is a perfect exemplar of the ideals embodied in Jony and Marc's curation of the (RED) Auction. This unique piece is inscribed to mark the occasion: Designed by Jony Ive & Marc Newson for (RED) 2013 edition 01/01."
Auktionen hålls av Sothebys den 23 november och vad slutsumman kommer att landa på kan vi bara drömma om. Förhoppningsvis blir den hög. Förutom bordet kommer en hel del andra saker designade av Jony och Marc att auktioneras ut, bland annat den omtalade Leica-kameran.
