Marco Zanuso (Milan, 14 May 1916 – Milan, 11 July 2001) was one of the most important Italian architects and designers of the twentieth century, a key figure of the Modern Movement in design and architecture, with an extraordinarily multifaceted career that profoundly influenced contemporary design and architecture. After graduating in architecture from the Polytechnic of Milan in 1939, Zanuso began his professional activity at the end of the Second World War, opening a studio in Milan in 1945. From the years immediately following the conflict, Zanuso was a protagonist of the Italian cultural debate: he was involved in the CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne) and in the INU (National Institute of Urban Planning), and contributed to the diffusion of the ideas of the Modern Movement. Zanuso was one of the founders of the ADI (Association for Industrial Design) and actively contributed to the establishment of the Compasso d'Oro award, one of the most authoritative awards in the international design panorama. During his career he received numerous awards and honours, including several Compasso d'Oro and gold medals at the Milan Triennale. His projects are now part of the permanent collections of important international museums, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, testifying to the lasting value of his work.
