Marc Newson is one of the most accomplished and influential designers of his generation. At 44, he has already worked across a wide range of disciplines to create everything from chairs, household objects, a bicycle and a concept car to restaurants, a recording studio and interiors of private and commercial jets.
Newson's designs are present in most major permanent museum collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, London's Design Museum, Musée National d'Art Moderne Centre Georges Pompidou and the Vitra Design Museum. A book on Marc Newson's work was published by Booth-Clibborn Editions in 1999, and one by Thames and Hudson in 2001. A DVD was released in January 2005, and a monograph for Phaidon is planned. Marc Newson is Adjunct Professor in Design at Sydney College of the Arts, and in the UK has been appointed 'Royal Designer for Industry'.
