With his sleek, glossy and dynamic designs, Marc Newson creates cutting-edge work that embodies notions of speed, luxury and progress. His work — be it his now-iconic Event Horizon table, an Italian speed boat, Nike shoes, or an Ikepod wristwatch — manifests a jet-set lifestyle redefined for the 21st century.
A Sydney native, Newson lived in Tokyo for several years and currently resides in London. He has created everything from furniture and jewelry to sneakers and dish racks. Given his globetrotting lifestyle, it’s easy to see why one of his best-known designs is the Lockheed lounge chair — a curvy, pod-shaped piece crafted from the same riveted aluminum that encases airplanes. You may also have spotted one of Newson’s many collaborations with luxury fashion houses — such as Louis Vuitton and Hermès — in a first-class departure lounge.
One of the most influential (and certainly one of the most prolific) industrial designers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Newson preaches the gospel of good design with messianic fervor. His work appears in dozens of museum collections around the world, and consistently fetches high prices at auction.
Newson has long been captivated by the space-age modernism of the early 1960s — indeed, his famed Embryo chair for Cappellini would fit right into the Jetsons’ living room. With such a long and impressive list of futuristic design bona fides, as you will see on these pages, Marc Newson is clearly a designer on the move.

Christian Liaigre for Holly Hunt Black Oak Woven Webbed Bench, Late 20th Century
By Christian Liaigre, HOLLY HUNT
Located in Hamburg, PA
A highly elegant and minimalist woven bench designed by celebrated French designer Christian Liaigre for Holly Hunt. This piece perfectly embodies Liaigre's signature architectural restraint, featuring a sleek, solid black oak frame supported by four subtly tapered and gracefully splayed legs. The seat is constructed from a tightly interlaced grid of wide, light-colored flat straps that wrap cleanly around the dark wooden side rails. The stark, high-contrast juxtaposition between the deep black oak frame and the cream-colored woven webbing creates a striking and sophisticated visual profile. Beautifully scaled and incredibly versatile, this bench is ideal for use at the foot of a bed, anchoring an entryway, or serving as a chic accent piece in a modern living space. The black oak frame is solid and structurally sound, and the woven webbing is taut, clean, and fully intact. Retains the original "Christian Liaigre at Holly Hunt" metal maker's plaque attached to the inner frame. The pair of Donghia Floor Lamps...
