MARC NEWSON

He has designed chairs, restaurants, boutiques,

cars, planes, and even a spaceship. For Australian

industrial designer Marc Newson, the sky is no limit.

From mass-produced products to limited edition

furniture to fashion, Newson has blurred boundaries,

mapped new territories, and made himself an inter-

national superstar.

This comprehensive tome leaves no stone unturned

in cataloguing all of Newson’s works to date, from early

pieces such as Lockheed Lounge (which holds the

world record for the highest price paid for a piece of

designer furniture, at over two million dollars) through

designs of household objects and more recent, large

scale projects such as the interior of Qantas’s A380

and the Aquariva boat.

ART EDITION

NO. 1–100

Limited Art Edition of 100 copies, featuring leather

marquetry on the cover and a Micarta slipcase

ISBN 978–3–8365–1171–1

€ 4,000 / $ 6,000 / £ 3,500 / ¥ 800,000

The Art Edition features leather marquetry on the

cover and comes in a Micarta slipcase designed by

Marc Newson and Richard Allan. Micarta is a century-

old resin and fabric laminate process that has a wood-

like grain. It was originally invented as an electrical

insulator and was an all but obsolete material when

Newson resurrected it to make limited edition chairs

for his 2007 Gagosian exhibition. Since then, he also

used Micarta for his Aquariva boat and it has become

something of a signature medium for him, making it

the perfect choice for the Art Edition slipcase.
