{mosimage}We found some interesting pictures about early works of Marc Newson, made in the first years of professionnal business.

Unfortunately, it'll be impossible to find this products in a auction house, because they are part of museum collection in Australia.

Description
Chair, 'Cone', aluminium / steel / silk, Marc Newson, Sydney, Australia, 1986
The chair is constructed from aluminium sheet and steel rivets, and consists of a conical form with the apex centrally supported within a hemispherical shaped base on the floor. The cone shape widens as it rises from the floor to provide a deep, curved back. The front section of the cone has been cut away and a seat formed. The back curves outwards at the top to form an overhanging, everted 'rim'. The seat, the interior surface of the back and the exposed interior of the base are upholstered in a cream-coloured silk brocade that features floral, leaf and fruit motifs.
