Airbnb co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky said, 'One of the designers I admire most is Jonathan Ive, former Apple Chief Design Officer.' 'Johnny (nicknamed Ive) and myself.' Has made good friendships over the years and he has given me a lot of advice, so we share common values and importance in creative and design, 'he said. He talks about Mr. Ive's relationship.

'We have decided to work with Johnny and LoveFrom through a multi-year partnership to design the next generation of Airbnb products and services, and Johnny says we are one of the best in the world. It will help develop the in-house design team that we believe in, 'explains the partnership between Airbnb and LoveFrom.

According to Airbnb, LoveFrom is building a creative team that includes designers, architects, musicians, writers, engineers, and artists. It's unclear at the time of writing what Airbnb plans to work with LoveFrom, but Apple-related media 9to5Mac says `` Airbnb is unlikely to create consumer hardware. 'Clearly, Ive is passionate about architecture. In his final year at Apple, he led the design of Apple Park and the exterior of the Apple Store, and Airbnb is a renting service.' He points out that LoveFrom may be involved in architecture-related projects.
