Marc Andrew Newson CBE RDI (born 20 October 1963) is an Australian industrial designer, creative director, and artist who, in a career spanning nearly four decades, has worked in many industry sectors including furniture, product, and transportation design, luxury goods, fashion, and fine art.

His work is primarily characterized by smooth geometric lines, organic shapes, an absence of sharp edges, and the use of transparency and translucency.

[2] Newson's Lockheed Lounge chair holds the record for the highest price paid at auction for the work of a living designer.

[11][12] In 1997 he moved to London, where he and business partner Benjamin de Haan set up Marc Newson Ltd.[13][9] He has served as an adjunct professor of design at Sydney College of the Arts (where he first studied sculpture and jewellery) and as creative director for Qantas.

[20] Speaking about his work and methodology in Domus magazine, Newson states that “You can draw a curve on the paper and know immediately that it is the right one, but you can not do the same to the computer; the curve is not realized with a function or using a digital guide, it is a form that is drawn freehand.”[9] 1999: commemorative postage stamp series celebrating Australian design featured an image of Newson's Embryo Chair on a 90c stamp.

[39][40] Every year he races one of his four vintage sports cars – an Aston Martin, a Lamborghini, a Ferrari and a Cisitalia – in the Italian Mille Miglia, while wearing bespoke tweed driving suits by H. Huntsman & Sons, and was quoted as saying: "I'm not a motor head, I don't like the new versions of any of those cars.

Often your innovation is just coming up with a new way to use material.In 2013, Ive and Newson collaborated on an auction at Sotheby's for Bono's Product Red charity.

Over forty objects – "each of which we both like ... functional and capable of being made in volume", per Ive; "deeply personal" per Newson – were curated, modified or designed over a two year period for the auction and show to benefit The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
