MARC NEWSON
2020-03-09Few practitioners have occupied the common ground of design and art with such conviction as Newson, for whom the discipline of industrial design presents an inexhaustible opportunity to explore new ways of thinking about form and function, materials and production. Over the past thirty-plus years, he has applied his original vision and technical mastery to innovative items of furniture, from the iconic Lockheed Lounge (1986), which he built by hand from aluminum sections to emulate the world-renowned aircraft, to Extruded Tables and Voronoi Shelf (both 2007), each carved in one piece from a block of marble. The current presentation includes works from several recent series—the Chinese cloisonné, as well as the cast glass and Murrina works produced in the former Czech Republic—all entirely new formal experiments.
