About the designer
Marc Newson
Marc Newson has been described as one of the most influential designers of his generation. He has worked across a wide range of disciplines, and his clients include – besides Magis – companies such as Louis Vuitton, Montblanc, Hermès, Nike, Dom Pérignon, Jaeger-LeCoultre and Ferrari. He also served as Creative Director of Qantas Airways (2005-2015) and Designer for Special Projects at Apple since his first involvement in the design of the Apple Watch . In 2019, Marc and Sir Jonathan Ive founded the creative collective LoveFrom.
Born in Sydney, Australia in 1963, Newson has lived and worked in Sydney, Tokyo and Paris, and presently resides in the UK where his company, Marc Newson Limited, has been based since 1997. Newson graduated from the University of Sydney in 1986. With the aid of an Australian Crafts Council grant, he staged his first solo exhibition at the age of 23. By 25, Newson had created the now iconic Lockheed Lounge . This piece has since set four world record prices at auction for work created by a living designer.
As a long-term supporter of the charity (RED), Newson together with Ive curated a design auction in 2013 which raised US$46 million for the organisation.
