The Financial Times has just published a Makers and Creators guest list edited by designer Jony Ive. One of the pieces features a list of twelve tools Ive uses in his practice. I love articles like this because they offer a glimpse into how his mind works.

Item number ten on the list, the Mitutoyo 6-inch universal bevel protractor, is fantastic and an incredibly useful tool for designers.

In another article, Ive speaks with renowned Australian designer Marc Newson. It is a great back and forth, and one line in particular really resonated with me:
