Creating Coromandel: Marco Zanuso In South Africa

Creating Coromandel: Marco Zanuso in South Africa is a monograph that explores Coromandel House, an extraordinary piece of modernist architecture in north-eastern South Africa. Created in 1975 by the Italian architect and designer Marco Zanuso (1916-2001), this unique farmhouse - part building, part ruin, part wilderness - is renowned for its relationship with its spectacular natural context. The book explores the association between Zanuso and the couple who commissioned him, Sydney Arnold Press and Victoria de Luria Press, their other architectural collaboration (1978's Edgardale) and their relationship with assorted prominent photographers, landscape architects and designers. It also offers a glimpse into Zanuso's lesser-known portfolio and his unique creative process, blending industrial design and architecture.
