LoveFrom worked for free
Former Apple design chief Jonathan Paul “Jony” Ive has returned to designing devices with his LoveFrom company. And Quince’s first such work was a vinyl player.
LoveFrom helped Linn create a special edition of the Sondek LP12 to celebrate the manufacturer’s 50th anniversary. Interestingly, LoveFrom worked for free, as Ive admires the Linn team.

Reportedly, both teams studied the Sondek LP12 together and ended up not being able to drastically change the model for fear of the impact of such changes on sound quality. So the special version of the player as a whole looks about the same as the regular one, but, of course, there are a lot of changes in the little things.
The resulting Sondek LP12-50 costs a hefty $60,000 and will only be made in 250 units.
