Marcuso
Made by Zanotta
Designed by Marco Zanuso
Marcuso di Zanotta è un tavolo da pranzo ideato da Marco Zanuso tra il 1969 e il 1970, caratterizzato da una logica costruttiva più vicina all'architettura che all'arredamento tradizionale. La sua geometria essenziale unisce vetro e acciaio con eccezionale chiarezza, creando un tavolo che appare visivamente leggero pur esprimendo un forte senso di intelligenza tecnica.
Il design è strutturalmente smontabile e costruito attorno a un raffinato sistema di incollaggio in cui le gambe in acciaio inossidabile si collegano direttamente al piano in vetro tramite dischi in acciaio saldati. Disponibile in formato rotondo o rettangolare, con cristallo trasparente o vetro rivestito antracite e strutture in acciaio lucidato o verniciato, Marcuso rimane un'espressione intramontabile di precisione industriale, sobria eleganza e sofisticato design italiano.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the Marcuso table and when?
The Marcuso was designed by Marco Zanuso for Zanotta between 1969 and 1970. Zanuso was a leading figure in postwar Italian design, known for integrating industrial processes and materials into rigorous, architecturally informed forms.
How is the glass top attached to the steel legs?
The Marcuso uses a demountable bonding system in which welded steel discs connect the stainless steel legs directly to the glass top without conventional hardware. This adhesive-based joint is integral to the design's visual clarity and structural identity.
What glass and frame finishes are available for the Marcuso?
The table is offered with a clear crystal glass top or an anthracite-coated glass top, paired with a polished stainless steel frame or a painted steel frame, allowing the piece to read differently across a range of interior contexts.
Is the Marcuso table available in different shapes and sizes?
Yes, the Marcuso is produced in both round and rectangular formats. Specific dimensions vary by configuration, and the table is made to order, so lead times should be confirmed at the time of inquiry.
Why is the Marcuso considered an icon of Italian design?
The Marcuso was among the first furniture designs to treat an adhesive bonding system as a structural and aesthetic choice rather than a hidden detail, anticipating later thinking about material honesty in industrial design. Its combination of formal restraint and engineering ingenuity has kept it in continuous production for over fifty years.
