Born in Sydney in 1964, Marc Newson has built a sky-high reputation for cool and original design, whether in furniture, interiors or products. His 021C concept car for Ford wowed the Tokyo Motor Show; Madonna shimmied around his Lockheed Lounge couch in her video Rain, and his restaurant in New York's famous Lever building is packing in customers.
In moving from Sydney to London, via Paris and Tokyo, Marc Newson has brought with him the excitement of Australian popular and beach culture, and refined it through a passionate interest in materials and technology. The result is a body of work shot through with intelligence and wit, which has been delighting the design world for a decade, and is set to charm the rest of the world in the future. For Newson has made the magic transition from a craft designer working in the important but small world of specialist furniture and lighting such as Flos and Alessi, to working for major international industrial clients, such as Ford and Nike.
