Marc Newson
May 1st, 2008
Ok so I have now found another amazing designer who really is the top of his game right now. This guy is Australian born Marc Newson. He has been around for a while but only really got noticed with his innovative Lockheed Lounge, which was so fluid and organic it stood out at the time (1986). This piece of furniture is now valued as priceless.
Marc has been involved in all sorts of design and he loves to use his big experimentations of methods, materials and techniques on a smaller, more consumable level for example he has been re-designing simple households objects with startling effect such as the bottle opener and even soap holders but the main thing is the attention to detail he places on not only aesthetics but functionality as well.
Marc also created the Pod watch but and avid collector of his work bought out Pod watches and collaborated to create ikepod to create some of the most exclusive timepieces seen on the market with Marc’s original flair for a twist in the design to break away from mainstream watches we see.
Marc is now the head creative director for Qantas Airlines and is currently completely re-designing the interior of their planes to increase comfort through colours and ergonomics to increasing functionality.
