“Twin shooting materials – moulding different plastics together or co-moulding plastic to metal gives us a range of functional and formal opportunities that really didn’t exist before. The iPod is made from twin-shot plastic with no fasteners and no battery doors enabling us to create a design which was dense completely sealed.” Jonathan Ive / designmuseum.org 38
