Presenting his first solo show in the United States, Marc Newson's exhibition opens this thursday in New York blurring the line between design practitioner and artist.
Sometimes I start with the material, sometimes the idea. In this case the materials were the inspiration. I began by identifying materials that I had always been interested in but had never used. Often the context of materials strikes me more than the materials themselves. Context is new, not materials.

Newson's Lockheed Lounge (1985) made history last year as the highest price ever paid at auction for the work of a living designer.
