Cona

Cona is a design studio founded by former Apple designer Christopher Stringer, who led the design of the original iPhone and other iconic Apple products during his 21-year tenure (1995–2016) at Apple's industrial design group. Based in Los Angeles, Cona works on "vague, hard, important" design problems for a range of clients, often at the intersection of physical hardware, digital experience, and brand strategy. Stringer is one of the designers named on over 1,000 Apple patents and was a protégé of Jony Ive. Cona's significance lies in its line of descent from the design philosophy that defined Apple's modern product language, applied now to external clients across industries.
