Marc Newson at Gagosian Gallery LondonGagosian Gallery announced an exhibition of limited edition works by Marc Newson.
Following his acclaimed exhibition in New York, Newson has created three new variations on established themes.
As before, each work is conceived and meticulously crafted in a seamless piece of material.
Extruded Table 3 is a startling evolution from the preceding Extruded Tables, where the open-ribbon form becomes an unbroken line with no beginning and no end.
The dynamics of its streamlined silhouette are further emphasized by the natural grey/white striations of the marble.
Low Voronoi Shelf is directly inspired by its more monumental forbear Voronoi Shelf, but reconceived as a useful surface rather than a purely sculptural object.
With Carbon Fibre Chair, Newson explores an existing model in terms of a radically different material.
In doing so, the highly reflective, "liquid" yet weighty Nickel Chair morphs into its polar opposite, a darkly absorptive, light-weight form.
Newson approaches design as an experimental exercise in extreme structure and advanced technologies, combined with a highly tactile and exacting exploration of materials, processes, and skills.
As an industrial designer, his reach is broad and diverse, from concept jets and cars to watches, footwear, luggage, and aircraft interiors.
