SPECIAL NOTE
Marco Zanuso was a leading Italian modernist designer and architect. From 1947 to 1949, he served as editor-in-chief of Domus magazine. Over the course of this career, Zanuso was recognized by the Triennale di Milano in five different exhibitions (VIII, IX, X, XI and XIII), and he received the Medaglia d’Oro as well as five Compasso d’Oro awards between 1956 and 1985. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), in New York currently includes fifteen of his works in its permanent collection. His artistic legacy is both robust and indisputable, spanning a range of furniture design, industrial design, and architectural projects.
