MILAN (Reuters) – Italian luxury car maker Ferrari and parent company Exor, the holding vehicle of the Agnelli family, have agreed a long term partnership with Jony Ive, the designer of many of Apple’s iconic products, and Marc Newson.
The two designers belong to the LoveFrom creative collective which will explore “a range of creative projects with Exor in the business of luxury” in addition to the collaboration with Ferrari, the two companies said in a statement
Ive had been mentioned in the Italian press among possible candidates to replace Louis Camilleri when he suddenly stepped down as chief executive of Ferrari last year.
