Marco Zanuso (Milan, May 14, 1916 – Milan, July 11, 2001) was an Italian architect, designer and urban planner.
He is considered one of the founding fathers of Italian industrial design. Together with the BBPR studio group, Alberto Rosselli, Franco Albini, Marcello Nizzoli and the brothers Livio, Pier Giacomo and Achille Castiglioni, he contributed to the postwar debate on the ‘modern movement’ in architecture and design.
Zanuso was one of the very first to take an interest in the problems of product industrialization and the application of new materials and technologies to everyday objects.
His objects won numerous awards (including seven Compasso d’Oro and six prizes from the Milan Triennale) and are exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and in the permanent design collection at the Triennale (Antropus and Lady).
A postage stamp in the Italian Postal Service’s design series was dedicated to the Fourline armchair.
In addition to domestic furniture, he designed objects of the most diverse types such as radios, televisions, telephones and sewing machines.
