MARC NEWSON | ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
MARC NEWSON
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Marc Newson was born in 1963 in Sydney. He has lived and worked in Tokyo, Paris and London where
he is now based. He studied jewelry and sculpture at Sydney College of the Arts and experimented with
furniture design while he was studying.
Known as one of the most influential designer of its generation, he is a successful industrial designer who
works in aircrafts design, product design, furniture design, jewelry and clothing. He creates everything,
from furniture and household objects to bicycles and cars, private and commercial aircraft, yacht and
more for clients across the globe.
Many of his designs have been a runaway success for his clients and have achieved the status of modern
design icons.
“The point is with my design, with what I do, whether it’s design or whether it’s art, because I do everything
from designing airplane interiors, which is like on one level really pure engineering (ok theres a bit of design
there, but it’s mostly engineering). on the other end of the spectrum, I’m designing sculptures, things like
the lockheed lounge, there’s a whole lot of limited edition pieces that I designed that are being sold at
auctions, and things like that...now that’s my fantasy, that’s my pure... emotion just running wild.”
