Nine distinctive wheel designs ranging from 18- to 22-inches with a choice of four finishes are available. Standard models are equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels as standard. S models upgrade to a 19-inch wheel, SE models move up to a 20-inch wheel and HSE models increase to a 21-inch wheel as standard. On models above the standard trim level, customers can specify up to 22-inch alloy wheels, which form part of the First Edition model’s comprehensive standard equipment.

They also found the pulley system on the second floor, left over from the building’s carriage house days, when bales of hay would be hoisted upstairs.

Ive’s parents now live in that part of England, and Ive, too, once had a house there, but he grew up in Chingford, in London’s middle-class northeastern suburbs. There was a Rams-designed Braun MPZ 2 Citromatic juicer in the kitchen. “No part appeared to be either hidden or celebrated,” he later wrote. He was exposed early to tools. “I was so incredibly lucky to grow up in the context of workshops,” he told me. He acquired “a natural understanding that everything here”—highways, bridges, Toyotas—“is made, and is the consequence of multiple decisions.” His roots are working class: his paternal grandfather and great-grandfather were skilled metalworkers. His father, Michael, now retired, was a secondary-school teacher of design and technology, and then a government adviser on design education. Ive’s mother was a theology teacher and, later, a therapist; his younger sister became a consultant for nonprofits in London. Marc Newson sees an economic similarity between Ive’s upbringing and his own. “Neither of us came from particularly privileged backgrounds,” he said, when we met. “A lot of what I’ve done has been an effort to try to have the things that I didn’t own when I was a child.” Newson was carrying a six-thousand-dollar Louis Vuitton backpack, of his own design. Ive, the owner of a jet, was twenty-one before he experienced air travel.

Apple’s designers still visit factories, but a final prototype part from Cupertino is not the start of a conversation; it’s the part. Ive gave me a tour of the area in the studio behind the glass, where, beyond the milling machines, there’s also a color lab. He said, “Years ago, you thought you’d fulfilled your responsibility, as a designer, if you could accurately define the form”—in drawings or a model. Now, Ive said, “our deliverable just begins with form.” The data that Apple now sends to a manufacturer include a tool’s tracking path, speed, and appropriate level of lubricant. Ive noted that the studio’s prototyping expertise creates the theoretical risk of beautiful dumb ideas. “There are some people who can draw something that’s fundamentally ugly, but draw it—hint at detailing—in such a way that it’s seductive.” Three-dimensional models could be equally misleading. “What we try to do is see beyond our ability to implement, beyond our ability to detail.”

You wouldn’t know the DualPro is a dual-layer case unless you looked at it closely. Unlike with other two-layer cases, the DualPro’s seams are very tight, and the case doesn’t try to look tough. The similarity in color between the two layers doesn’t hurt, either. The bottom layer is made of silicone, and the top is a hard plastic with a soft-touch coating. That coating makes the DualPro comfortable to hold, though it does yield fingerprints more easily than other cases. Overall, though, this is a premium-feeling case.

Just off the living room, is a formal dining room with raised wall panels and water views. The great room connects to a gourmet kitchen boasting a stone floor with radiant heat, Italian Basalt countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances from Bosch, Viking, and GE Monogram. A sunny breakfast area features views of the front gardens and a French door to the covered mahogany side porch. A private library with a fireplace, wet bar, and radiant-heated floor is located away from the main living areas.

The need for Flame retardant Polycarbonate films is expected to be fueled by the need for films with excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties. Several manufacturers of Flame retardant Polycarbonate films focus on producing customized solutions, with features such as embossing, variations in colors, and others. The ease of handling of Flame retardant Polycarbonate films is a merit, and therefore, they are used in a wide range of products such as aircraft in-flight panels, business equipment, electronic devices, and others. Therefore, the outlook for the growth of the global Flame retardant Polycarbonate films market is expected to remain largely positive during the forecast period.
