This volume about the career of designer Marc Newson can , if you like, be seen as a Catalog for everyday life be read. Imagine waking up in the morning, taking a bath, drying your hair, getting dressed, putting on your glasses, spraying yourself with perfume, sitting down at the table to have tea with eggs and toast for breakfast, looking at the clock, packing your suitcase, driving to the airport, boarding a plane, and sailing away on a luxury yacht. The remarkable thing about this scenario, besides its opulence, is that everything in it could be a Newson design : the bed, the bathtub, the hairdryer, the clothes, the shoes, the glasses, the perfume bottle, the kettle, the teapot, the toaster, the frying pan, the spatula, the hob, the plates, the dishes, the clock, the chair, the table, the lighting, the suitcase, the car, the airplane and even the yacht.

No project is too small or too big for Newson, and His career is a testament to what a person with inexhaustible ambition, ingenuity, curiosity, and versatility can achieve . From mass-produced objects to limited-edition furniture to one-of-a-kind pieces, Newson has blurred boundaries and explored new territories, rising to the top of his field in the process.

To describe Newson's contributions to the design world as groundbreaking and influential is hardly appropriate - rather, his work is now the benchmark against which the work of other designers must inevitably be compared .

This encyclopedic work includes all of Newson’s previous work, starting with seminal early pieces such as the Pod of Drawers and the Lockheed Lounge (which broke the world record for the highest price paid for a piece of furniture by a living designer), in entries arranged chronologically and by category: Objects, furniture, interior, transport and jewelry & watches. Each description goes to the History of creation and production of the piece and contains detailed Quotations from the designer himself. The book is rounded off by a visual index of Newson's complete works, a chronology of his life, a bibliography, and his exhibition history.
