Neuware - Dieser Band über die Karriere des Designers Marc Newson kann, wenn man so möchte, wie ein Katalog für das alltägliche Leben gelesen werden. Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie wachen morgens auf, nehmen ein Bad, trocknen Ihr Haar, ziehen sich an, setzen Ihre Brille auf, sprühen sich mit Parfüm ein, setzen sich an den Tisch, um Tee mit Eiern und Toast zu frühstücken, schauen auf die Uhr, packen Ihren Koffer, fahren zum Flughafen, steigen in den Flieger und segeln auf einer Luxusyacht davon. Das Bemerkenswerte an diesem Szenario ist neben seiner Opulenz, dass alles darin ein Newson-Design sein könnte: das Bett, die Badewanne, der Haartrockner, die Kleidung, die Schuhe, die Brille, die Parfümflasche, der Wasserkocher, die Teekanne, der Toaster, die Pfanne, der Pfannenwender, das Kochfeld, die Teller, das Geschirr, die Uhr, der Stuhl, der Tisch, die Beleuchtung, der Koffer, das Auto, das Flugzeug und sogar die Yacht.Kein Projekt ist zu klein oder zu groß für Newson, und seine Karriere ist ein Beweis dafür, was eine Person mit unerschöpflichem Ehrgeiz, Einfallsreichtum, Neugierde und Vielseitigkeit erreichen kann. Von Massenobjekten über Möbel in limitierter Auflage bis hin zu Unikaten: Newson hat Grenzen verwischt und neue Gefilde erschlossen und ist dabei an die Spitze seines Fachs aufgestiegen. Die Beiträge, die Newson in der Designwelt hinterlassen hat, als bahnbrechend und einflussreich zu bezeichnen, ist kaum angemessen - vielmehr ist sein Werk heute der Maßstab, mit dem die Arbeit anderer Designer zwangsläufig verglichen werden muss.Dieses enzyklopädische Werk umfasst alle bisherigen Arbeiten von Newson, angefangen bei wegweisenden frühen Stücken wie dem Pod of Drawers und der Lockheed Lounge (die den Weltrekord für den höchsten Preis gebrochen hat, der für ein Möbelstück eines lebenden Designers gezahlt wurde), in Einträgen, die chronologisch und nach Kategorien geordnet sind: Objekte, Möbel, Interieur, Transport und Schmuck & Uhren. Jede Beschreibung geht auf die Entstehungsgeschichte und Herstellung des Stücks ein und enthält ausführliche Zitate des Designers selbst. Abgerundet wird das Buch durch einen visuellen Index von Newsons Gesamtwerk, eine Chronologie seines Lebens, eine Bibliographie und seine Ausstellungsgeschichte.…

This volume covering Marc Newson’s design career can, if you are ambitious enough, read like a catalog of how to live. Imagine waking up in the morning, taking a bath, drying your hair, getting dressed, putting on your glasses, spritzing yourself with perfume, sitting down to eat a breakfast of tea with eggs and toast, checking your watch, packing your suitcase, driving to the airport, catching a flight, and sailing off on a luxurious yacht. What’s remarkable about this scenario, aside from its opulence, is that everything in it could be a Newson design: the bed, bathtub, hair dryer, clothes, shoes, glasses, perfume bottle, electric kettle, teapot, toaster, skillet, spatula, cooktop, plates, utensils, watch, chair, table, lighting, suitcase, car, plane, and even the yacht.
No project is too small or too great for Newson, and his career is a testament to what one person with limitless ambition, ingenuity, curiosity, and versatility can achieve. From mass-produced objects to limited-edition furniture to one-of-a-kind superworks, Newson has blurred boundaries, mapped new territories, and risen to the top of his field in the process. To call the contributions Newson has made to the design world groundbreaking and influential is hardly adequate―more accurately, his is now the benchmark against which other designers' work must inevitably be compared.
This encyclopedic tome covers all of Newson’s works to date, beginning with foundational early pieces such as the Pod of Drawers and the Lockheed Lounge (which has broken the world record for the highest price paid for a piece of furniture by a living designer), in encyclopedia-style entries ordered chronologically by category: Objects, Furniture, Interiors, Transport, and Jewelry & Timepieces. Each description explores the story behind and the making of the piece, and is amply furnished with quotes from the designer himself. The book is rounded out by a visual index of Newson’s complete works, a chronology of his life, a bibliography, and his exhibition history.
