| | Marc Newson has designed just about everything. The celebrated industrial designer has put his mark on products ranging from million dollar furniture to the Apple Watch. But he never designed a high performance ergonomic chair, until now.
The Newson Task Chair is the designer’s latest project, built in collaboration with Knoll. While most task chairs are weighed down by heavy mechanics, Newson spent half a decade refining the core components in his version to create a weightless, cantilever-like design, with a sharp side silhouette that will sear its way into your consciousness.
In my exclusive interview with Newson, we talked about how he developed the new chair, and how he sees his oft-luxurious work fitting into the larger conversation about sustainability. Read my story here.
