Produced at a time when consumer electronics failed to be effectively integrated with design (exceptions can be found in the form of the<a href=\"http:\/\/designtel.co\/?s=brionvega\"> Brionvega<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/designtel.co\/?s=braun\">Braun<\/a> catalogues), Jensen\u2019s tenure at the company from 1965-91 demonstrated the true depth of his vision, famously remarking: \u2018constructing a fountain pen, writing a poem, producing a play or designing a locomotive, all demand the same components, the same ingredients: perspective, creativity, new ideas, understanding and first and foremost, the ability to rework, almost infinitely, over and over\u2019 and evoking this through the creation of whole product lines that shared a consistency of line, colour and formal language.
