The recessed handles and gently curved corners create a sense of continuity across the design, while the spacious interior offers practical storage behind its doors and drawers. This statement piece will bring character in any room! Mario Marenco was born in 1933. He studied architecture in Naples and won research grants for Stockholm and Chicago. In 1960 he opened in Rome his own atelier of architecture and design named Studio DEGW in Rome. During his career as an architect, he taught at the University of Sydney and worked with companies such as B&B, Arflex and Poltrana Frau.
