Marco Zanuso
Italian architect, designer, and educator
Marco Zanuso, an Italian architect, designer and educator whose work with industrial materials and manufacturing processes helped define post-war Italian design and establish it as a model of innovation, accessibility and formal clarity.
Zanuso was born in Milan and studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano, graduating in 1939. After serving in the Italian Navy during the Second World War, he opened his own design office six years later. From the outset, he was active in shaping the discourse around modern design, serving as co-editor of Domus for two years, and of Casabella a bit later.
He was a founding member and first president of the Associazione per il Disegno Industriale (ADI) in 1954, and taught architecture, design and urban planning at the Politecnico di Milano throughout most his life. Zanuso maintained that design was not solely an aesthetic practice but a way to give meaning and direction to complex ideas, integrating technological, industrial, distribution and cultural variables into articles destined for mass production.
