• Before and during his tenure at Apple, however, Ive designed a wide range of products you'd never expect to come from the designer of the iPod and iPhone. 
• Items like a comb, a toilet, or even a power drill aren't the first things to come to mind, but Ive has designed them all.

Most industrial designers aren't household names. It's not often that we know the name of the person responsible for overseeing the design of products that we use and love.

But with some of Apple's most iconic products, we can easily assign a name and a face to the person working behind the scenes to bring them fruition: Jony Ive.

Because we only really know Ive as Apple's chief designer, much of his work outside of Apple isn't as well known. It turns out that when Ive wasn't designing iPhones, iPods, and Mac computers, he's been cooking up some pretty unusual things, many of which you'd never expect.

Could you picture Ive designing a toilet, for example? Well, he did.

Check out some of the non-Apple products that Jony Ive has designed:

Ive realized that people like to fiddle with their pens, so he designed a pen just for the fidgeters. The TX2 had a ball and clip at the top of the pen designed for people to fiddle around with. It might be the original fidget toy, a category of accessories — like the fidget spinner — that was briefly popular in 2017.

Ive designed a land-line phone in the 80s called the "Orator," which won an award.
