18. Personality
“I think it’s really important to design things with a
kind of personality.”
“To get a character in your design, something
unique. This is mainly the thing which is making your
design strong, trenchant and catchy. This is the way
how your chair, your Corporate Identity, your poster
or your device gets memorable.”
The battle of form and function is a perennial
wrangle with design; but not with Sydney-born
nomadic, designer Marc Newson. The two sides are
routinely balanced in his trademark biomorphic style.
19. 'I'd love to be approached to do ordinary
things more,'
-Newson.
24. Marc's forms are often imitated, but what other
designers seldom imitate is his preoccupation with
materials and processes.
You have to start with an understanding of the
material. Often your innovation is just coming up with
a new way to use material.

25. What should the priorities of design
education be?
To teach students how to make things, and for them
to observe how things are made.
“I would like them to come out of [the exhibition] with
a smile on their faces. One of the really important
parts of designing, for me, is to inject a bit of humour
into it. Design is not a matter of life or death. It is a
natural response to smile when confronted with good
design.”

The Sky is Not the Limit)
Biomorphism is an art movement that began in the 20th century. It models artistic design elements on naturally occurring patterns or shapes reminiscent of nature and living organisms. Taken to its extreme it attempts to force naturally occurring shapes onto functional devices.

The pieces in the room make the space
materials have a huge influence
Process of connecting the dots
a man who knows there is no end to goals
he really thinks things through
he understands the situation then apply the materials
its all a process
he looks at the space and gets the information on what its supposed to use it for then bam he starts thinking about ways to make
he thinks of how the people would use the space
