Industrial designer Marc Newson is presenting a solo exhibition at Château La Coste in Provence, featuring 14 works that span his career. The show includes the public debut of 'Electra,' a monumental aluminum sculpture originally conceived for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics but never installed. Displayed in the estate's Oscar Niemeyer-designed pavilion, the exhibition highlights Newson's exploration of materials and processes, from early pieces like the Lockheed Lounge to recent large-scale cloisonné furniture made in Beijing. The presentation runs until June 21, 2026.
