Description

Marc Newson has been described as one of the most influential designers of his generation. He has worked across a wide range of disciplines creating memorable and highly coveted designs for everything from furniture to commercial aircraft. His brilliant work is included in some of the best museums throughout the world, including MoMA and the Vitra Design Museum.

The 'Sci-fi' vase has become a highly coveted and collectable Newson design. It was created in 1993 and is distinguished by its memorable futuristic form. It was produced by high end Netherlands based company Cor Unum and follows on from the earlier Helice floor lamp that Newson designed for Flos. This vase is a very rare offering especially in black as at the time it was only made upon request.

A similar vase in standard white was sold by Wright auction house for $5000.
