Leonardo Zanatta

Leonardo Zanatta is an award winning Brazilian architect and designer working across scales from urban strategy to collectible design. Founder of Estúdio Leonardo Zanatta, he approaches design as a tool for constructing cultural identity through material and territory. His practice investigates the geological memory and social narratives of the Global South, translating them into contemporary architectural and design forms. Recognized by AD100, Forbes Under 30 and Casa Vogue 50, Zanatta articulates an authentic Brazilian language that bridges research and construction. His work emphasizes structural clarity, rhythm and material honesty, positioning design as both intellectual inquiry and built expression.
Through his collaboration with Serafini, this vision extends into marble design, where territorial materiality and refined craftsmanship converge in custom pieces shaped by geological and cultural depth.
