He designed streamlined, yet functional products for industrial production. Sometimes the capabilities of existing products were redefined. Marco Zanuso was one of the main champions of modern Italian design. There are few products for which he did not design in his long career. Throughout his career, Zanuso was fascinated by modern technology. He exploited the vast possibilities of industrial production by creating a number of product series with an unmistakably modern design at a time when most of Italian manufacturing was still dominated by traditional crafts. For Zanuso, the aim of design was not to make products beautiful, but to create useful, well-defined objects, an approach that reflected the fact that he was a true industrial designer.
