| the australian-born marc newson, age 37, is one of the world’s most accomplished and influential designers. has had a prolific, international career and is something of a phenomenon. his distinctive, curvilinear designs are often described as futuristic, sexy, witty and original. newson's philosophy, the tongue-in-cheek names, he gives his works such as 'bucky', 'super guppy'... makes his pieces desireable all over the world. many of his furniture, lighting, glassware and household object designs have already achieved a culturally significant status, with design curators from moma, sfmoma, vitra design museum and london's design museum snatching them up for their permanent collections. his work has also infiltrated the ultra-hip world of pop culture, appearing in madonna's videos, austin powers film and many other movie sets... the museum’s exhibition is the first major retrospective of marc newson’s work, comprising over 200 objects: from furniture and interiors, to watches and homewares, from a bicycle to a car and even a private jet. sketches, drawings, models, prototypes and multimedia projects are also part of the exhibition, offering the viewer insights into newson’s creative method, the varied technical processes involved in the production of his work and the many maketing initiatives that have contributed to the international scope of his reputation. the exhibition explores the evolution of newson’s work from his student days in sydney in the early 1980s, his first works for the japanese company ideè, to his european career in paris, milan and london (which has served as his base since 1997). --- ---  ------- monthly designboom newsletter ------- ------- ? comments and contact us ? -------  |
