The Apple IIc and his design firm Frog Design were first contracted by Apple in 1982 and the Apple IIc was the first of the collaborations that came to market. It introduced the “Snow White design language” that Apple would use through the 1980s. The IIc, considered by many to be the most elegantly-designed personal computer of all time, was voted Design of the Year by Time magazine and included in the permanent collection of the Whitney Museum of Art. Although it wasn’t battery powered, the IIc was intended to be a portable computer and featured a fold-out handle at the back.

Esslinger would follow Jobs to NeXT and was also responsible for the distinctive NeXTcube design.
