Marc Newson is that rare beast, a rock star of a designer who has infused a diverse catalogue of objects with a unique sense of personality, using an approach that is both instantly identifiable yet often unexpected. You know it’s a Newson, somehow. Ever since his earliest furniture projects, the lively, neo-pop aluminium furniture that spliced postmodern playfulness with 1990s bling and the nascent digital sampling culture, his work has taken flight, often in very literal ways. Thrillingly, 40 years of his process, experimentation, written by Alison Castle and published by Taschen.
