This chair is made based on Enzo Mari's design. Originally designed in 1974 as part of Mari's visionary 'Autoprogettazione' project, this chair was designed to be built using only simple, affordable materials, making high-quality design accessible to everyone.
This chair shows signs of age and use.
Enzo Mari (1932–2020) was a legendary Italian designer, artist, and thinker, known for his uncompromising approach to design. Educated at the Brera Academy in Milan, he was deeply influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement, socialism, and the conviction that design should serve society rather than commerce. During his career, Mari created more than 2,000 works, including iconic pieces such as the 'Sof Sof' and 'Tonietta' chairs, while also teaching at prestigious institutions such as the University of Parma and the Milan Polytechnic. He was known for the fact that a product had to be at least 45 years old before it could truly be judged on quality—a testament to his focus on sustainability and integrity in design. His legacy continues to inspire, and his 'Autoprogettazione' series remains one of the most radical and influential design experiments of the 20th century.
