How would you describe him as a designer?
I would describe Marc Newson as a visionary and innovative designer. Throughout his designs, I can tell that he tries to push the boundaries of contemporary design. If Marc Newson were to major at NYUSH I think he would be an IMB major as his designs blend art, technology, and functionality. Newson’s designs often incorporate sleek lines, organic forms, and a futuristic aesthetic. Newson’s ability to work across various disciplines, from furniture to fashion to aviation, shows his versatility and creativity as a designer.
What from your research is your favorite and least favorite piece of design work from Newson?
I think my least favorite design by Newson is the BBJ, Private Aircraft Interior. I think that the design is very bland and basic compared to the other brightly colored and quirky designs that Newsons created. I think that the brown, black, and white color schemes for “luxury” designs have been overused. I see these designs on many yachts, first-class train cars, and other private jets. I feel like he brought nothing new to the table when creating this design and I am slightly disappointed.
I like the Syn recording studio. It brings a new fresh look to recording studios. Personally, If I were in this studio recording music I think that the fun designs of the chairs and the bright colorful textured walls would help promote creativity while creating my music. I like how he sticks to a clean design but also uses different colors and textures to create something new and futuristic without making the design look cluttered.
