Marc Newson to Join Apple’s Design Team

Sure, a bit.

Excessive rounded edges, bright pop-colors and lots of plastic seem to me a staple of the 90s. CAM techniques were just starting to hit their stride, so the work from the period often feels like it's just a direct product of the software. Newson's work looks to me like it popped out of a rendering on a Silicon Graphics machine. Karim Rashid, Greg Lyn are easy references. There are many others I can't think of.

It's not just that his work fits the style, but that even his recent work still employs the same techniques.

Concur, but 90s/00s aesthetics is rebounding back in the fashion cycle. The new design taste can be palpable to the prime demo, teens.

aside from the plastic it sounds like he'll get on just fine at Apple.
