Art meets design. He has designed chairs, restaurants, boutiques, cars, planes, and even a space ship. For Australian industrial designer Marc Newson, the sky is no limit. From mass-produced products to designer furniture to fashion, Newson has blurred boundaries, mapped new territories, and made himself an international superstar. This book explores his complete works to date via encyclopedia-style entries, arranged chronologically by categories: art editions, furniture, objects, timepieces, transport, and unreleased projects. From early iconic works 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) to more recent, large scale projects such as the Ford O21C concept car, the Kelvin jet, and the interior of Qantas' Airbus A380, this tome leaves no stone unturned.
Features of this Limited Collector's Edition include: encyclopedia entries arranged by category for all of Newson's works to date; extended, in-depth case studies for a selection of Newson's most important projects: Kelvin jet, Qantas Airbus A380, Gagosian art editions, Ford O21C, Ikepod watches, and Riva Boat; visual index cataloguing Newson's complete works chronologically with critical details and page number for the item's extended entry in the book; and, exclusive interview by Newson's longtime collaborator and friend, Louise Neri.
