Marco Zanini was born in Trento. He graduated in architecture from the University of Florence and furthered his studies in the USA.
He began his collaboration with Ettore Sottsass in Milan in 1977. In 1981 he was one of the founders of the Memphis group, for which he designed and realised collections exhibited in major museums and galleries worldwide.
On behalf of Sottsass Associati, he has directly contributed as design manager to the realisation of numerous projects, including exhibition spaces and creations in the field of industrial design and interior architecture, for a large and varied international clientele.
Bitossi Ceramiche, founded at the beginning of the 20th century, remains at its original location in Montelupo Fiorentino, near Florence. Starting by producing typical local handmade objects, this traditional production has been modernised thanks to the artistic direction of Aldo Londi, a man attentive to the evolution of taste and with an innate creative and aesthetic sense. Today is a favorite destination for leading names in the design world, fascinated by the company's historic value and the possibility of creating exclusive collections by the hands of its artisans.
