One of the most influential contemporary designers, Marc Newson has worked for prestigious brands including Apple, Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Jaeger-LeCoultre.  

Born in Sydney, Australia, in 1963, Newson studied jewelry and sculpture at Sydney University and founded his eponymous brand in London in 1997. He is represented by Gagosian Gallery as a master of design alongside Frank Gehry, and his work is part of permanent collections at MoMA, Cooper Hewitt, the Victoria and Albert Museum and Centre Pompidou. Newson created the aluminum display case for Ferrari, sandblasting the chrome with powder to keep the metal’s natural feel, while finishing the top with Ferrari’s red varnish.

Contributing a dozen books on racing, Allievi has been honored with awards such as the Dino Ferrari prize in journalism. A bona fide expert on all things Ferrari, he edited the project for Taschen.
