2009 Marc Newson: Supercell

Newson's biomorphist sculptural installation at the Southbank Centre

Made of brightly coloured enamelled hexagonal steel panels, it took the form of an exaggerated funnel. Sponsored by ArcelorMittal, the world's leading steel company. Talking of what inspired him to create it, Newson comments:

"The starting point for this project was the underlying structure of biological growth. I used a conic section and a hexagonal grid to express biological forms in this installation."
