Following the announcement of a partnership with Leica for charity earlier this week, Apple's senior vice president of design Jony Ive and industrial designer Marc Newson have created the (RED) Desk, an aluminum table that will be auctioned off to benefit Product (RED), reports The Verge.
The table, along with the one-of-a-kind Leica M Rangefinder and a pair of solid gold EarPods, which were both designed by Ive, will be auctioned via Sotheby's on November 23. Proceeds will go to Product (RED), a longtime Apple partner. Apple has raised more than $65 million for the charity since 2006.

Again, nice but...
In all seriousness, it's great that they're doing this for charity, though. Besides the ego-fest that Jony seems to be spewing (see last thread about this). I do hope that he's focused on improving the software for Apple, which I'm sure he is.
Sometimes it's hard to remember that there are many designers at Apple.

The desk is called Shift designed from Norman Foster for Tecno in 2011.
