21st Century Matteo Zorzenoni Storage Case Piece Cabinet Wood Steel Legs Pink

Known for his innovative style and ongoing exploration of the potential of materials, Matteo Zorzenoni has garnered critical acclaim as one of Italy’s most talented, up-and-coming furniture designers.

Born in 1978 in Treviso, Zorzenoni studied art and design at the Art Institute before he attended IED (Istituto Europeo di Design) in Venice, graduating in 2001 with a degree in industrial design. After graduation, Zorzenoni worked at the Luav University of Venice for several years as an assistant for professors and designers Riccardo Blumer, Denis Santachiara and Marc Sadler, and later as a lecturer.

From 2004 to 2008, Zorzenoni worked as a consultant for studio Fabrica di Benetton, then began a long-term collaboration with Spanish furniture designer Jaime Hayon. Together, Zorzenoni and Hayon head the Italian branch of Fabrica.

When creating his modern furniture designs, Zorzenoni focuses on unlocking the potential of materials such as glass, marble, concrete and metal — elements he incorporates in many of his pieces. His inventive use of materials has led to several high-profile collaborations with notable European manufacturers. For instance, Zorzenoni designed the Crystal Ball vase for Italian company Cappellini, a collection of marble coffee tables called Chap for manufacturer Miniforms and, for MM Lampadari, a series of elegant and sculptural chandeliers, floor lamps, table lamps and decorative lighting. 

Zorzenoni’s most prolific collaboration to date is with Italian furniture brand Scapin Collezioni. For Scapin, he has designed several of his most popular pieces such as the Cantilever wood and marble side tables, Ellipse dining room tables, distinctive Settebello sideboards and credenzas, the Òblo cabinet and the Bent, Clip and Cathedral mirrors.

Throughout his design career, Zorzenoni has participated in several exhibitions worldwide including the London Design Festival, Triennale di Milano, MAXXI in Rome, the Biennale of Architecture in Venice and more.

Scapin Collezioni is a visionary and non-conformist brand that curiously, creatively, and irreverently explores the confines of the designscape. Established in 2017 as a spin-off of La Veneta, a historic artistic furniture company recognised on an international level, Scapin Collezioni represents the parent company’s radical pop spirit. Its creations, unusual and scenic, range from traditional to experimental, finding a place in the point of convergence between craftsmanship par excellence, highly innovative design, and works of modern art. All the stages of the creative and construction process take place in the Trezze sul Brenta branch. In these spaces of productive incubation, the most cutting-edge automated technology is at the service of the crafting skills and inspiration of the designers. Experimentation is the keyword, stressing and exploring the material in order to force it to reveal yet unimagined expressive potential. Scapin Collezioni’s stock of materials includes wood and polyurethane foam. These elements are often accompanied by marble, resin, glass, and metal. The brand works with various designers like Elena Salmistraro, Matteo Cibic, Marcantonio, Matteo Zorzenoni.
