Marc Andrew Newson CBE RDI (born 20 October 1963) is an Australian industrial designer, creative director, and artist who, in a career spanning nearly four decades, has worked in many industry sectors including furniture, product, and transportation design, luxury goods, fashion, and fine art. His work is primarily characterized by smooth geometric lines, organic shapes, an absence of sharp edges, and the use of transparency and translucency.[2]
Newson's Lockheed Lounge chair holds the record for the highest price paid at auction for the work of a living designer.[3] Design critic Alice Rawsthorn called Newson "one of the most influential designers of his generation", and fellow designer Jony Ive has described him as "fairly peerless now".[4][1]
