en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Newson
Marc Newson (1963-) was born in Sydney, Australia. He is a successful industrial designer who works in aircraft design, product design, furniture design, jewellery, and clothing. He incorporates a design style known as biomorphism to his various designs. This style uses smooth flowing lines, translucency, transparency and the absence of sharp edges to create a beautiful and ergonomic design. He describes his 1988 Embryo Chair as "one of the first pieces where I hit upon a discernible style."
He is of Greek origins on his mother's side. He has lived in London since 1997 and has a house in Paris.
In 2005, he was selected as one of TIME magazine's 100 most influential people of the year.
In 2007, he completed the cabin design for the 'Sky Jet', an airline/rocketship (by EADS Astrium) planning to take passengers into space from 2012.
