Marc Newson (born 1963) belongs to a generation of designers that has profoundly shaped the late twentieth century. With works such as the Lockheed Lounge, Embryo Chair, and Orgone Chair, he established himself at an early age as one of the most influential figures in contemporary design. Today, his creations are represented in the collections of major museums worldwide and have become fixtures of the international design market.
