Marc Newson

Marc Newson is one of the most influential designers of his generation. Born in Sydney, Australia in 1963, he studied sculpture and jewellery, and has since worked as an industrial designer from his own studios in Sydney, Tokyo, Paris and London. His projects range from restaurants and a recording studio, to a concept car and private jet; and his work has been exhibited everywhere from the Museum of Modern Art in New York and London's Design Museum, to the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. This book, compiled in collaboration with author, Alice Rawsthorn, and art director, Richard Allan, draws on extensive interviews with Newson, and his personal archive of sketches and photographs, as well as specially produced computer renderings of his work, to trace the development of his career and design style.
