Zanuso was one of a group of Italian designers from Milan shaping the international idea of "good design" in the post-war years. Trained in architecture at the Milan Polytechnic, he opened his own design office in 1945. From the beginning of his career, at Domus where he served as the editor from 1947-49 and at Casabella where he was editor from 1952-56, he helped to establish the theories and ideals of the energetic modern design movement. As a professor of architecture, design and town planning at the Polytechnic from the late 1940s until the 1980s, and as one of the founding members of the ADI in the1950s, he also had a distinct influence over the next design generation coming out of Italy.
