Ross Lovegrove is an industrial designer possibly best known for his work on the Sony Walkman. He studied at Manchester Polytechnic, graduating with a First Class BA in industrial design in 1980, and then went to the Royal College of Art, London in 1983 where he completed his master of design. Most of the inspiration Lovegrove uses in his work comes from organic forms and structures. During the 80's, Ross worked as a designer for frog design in west Germany on products like walkmans for Sony, and computers for Apple Computers. He later moved to Paris as a consultant to Knoll International, becoming author of the highly successful Alessandri office system. Lovegrove has won numerous awards, and has been greatly published and exhibited internationally including places like the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Guggenheim Museum, the Axis Centre, Japan, the Pompidou Centre, Paris, and the Design Museum in London where he curated the first permanent collection. He was awarded the World Technology Award by Time Magazine in November 2005. The same year, he was awarded the very prestigious Red Dot Design Award for his products created for Vitra.
