The latest release from Jony Ive<\/a>\u2018s design studio LoveFrom<\/a> is a stunning sailing lantern, created in partnership with Japanese design and manufacturing company Balmuda<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jony Ive and LoveFrom<\/p>\n

Back in 2019, Jony Ive<\/a> officially left Apple and formed his own independent design firm<\/a>, LoveFrom. Since then, most of his former design team has left Apple<\/a> to join him at LoveFrom. This studio has released a few different products over the years: a Red Nose for Red Nose Day,<\/a> a seal for the Terra Carta environmental award<\/a>, and a redesign for Airbnb<\/a>. It was also recently announced<\/a> that OpenAI and LoveFrom are working on AI hardware.<\/p>\n

LoveFrom\u2019s latest design<\/p>\n

The latest offering from LoveFrom is a new Sailing Lantern<\/a>, which was designed in partnership with, and is being released by, Japanese design and manufacturing company Balmuda<\/a>. Here\u2019s what Jony Ive had to say about the partnership:<\/p>\n

It has been a considerable honour and enormously enjoyable creating our lantern with Gen and his wonderful team at BALMUDA. As a young boy, I adored sailing and spending my time on water. Our lantern was created and built for maritime conditions. While the materials, form and product architecture are new, there is a reassuring familiarity to the nautical lanterns and Fresnel lamps of the past whose designs evolved to address the same unforgiving functional requirements.<\/p>\n

Of course, the design is stunning, and honestly quite Apple-esque:<\/p>\n

The materials are also familiar to any Apple user:<\/p>\n

Materials were chosen for integrity and longevity: flawless precision-ground and polished glass, and precision-machined stainless steel with mirror polished, texture-blasted and durable electroplated finishes.<\/p>\n

The materials and construction also make it \u201ceasy to maintain, disassemble and repair, and [easy to] to recycle at the end of a lifetime of use\u201d.<\/p>\n

Final thoughts<\/p>\n

LoveFrom and Balmuda\u2019s Sailing Lantern is available as a limited edition of only 1,000 units. If you are interested, you can get it from Balmuda for $4,800 USD<\/a>. It is expected to ship in March of 2026.<\/p>\n
