I first came across Marc Newson's designs on a visit to Londons Design Museum. I had not heard of his works before, but after a bit of research I discovered that over the years he has created for many prestigious clients, his work ranging from chairs and household objects to restaurant and private jet interiors.
Newson was born in Australia, but has had his own studios in Tokyo, Paris and London, making his success over the years worldwide. I am intruiged by his designs as they challenge the way we interact with design, whilst ensuring they are functional pieces. 'The Black Hole Table' and the 'Orgone Lounge' are two of Newson's most exhibited designs (see below). The chair is a real statement, from the choice of colours and materials to the structure of it (which I am not sure looks too comfy?!). Nevertheless, it is very memorable, which shows the strength of the design.
Marc Newson's website is worth a visit; www.marc-newson.com.
