Marko Macura lived in New York in the '80s, where he began his under graduate studies at the Rhode Island school of design. His education continued at the Art Center college of Design (europe) in Switzerland. Upon completion with honors, Marko moved in 1994 to The Netherlands, where he began his professional activities at Philips Design, Eindhoven.

'Angolo' is a block furnishing offering people a pleasant break by using and enhancing the textural and aesthetic qualities of Alcantara®. Both for domestic and public use, it presents an irregular composition of facetted surfaces offering sensorial as well as massage qualities for the body. An ironically jagged and facetted surface of memory foam is upholstered with ultra sonically welded Alcantara®. The design breaks the 2D properties of Alcantara® as a fabric by creating surprising upholstered three dimensional surfaces, inviting to use, touch and feel. It presents Alcantara® in an impressive three dimensional manner.
