Enzo Mari (Italy 1932-2020)

Autoprogettazione Chair ‘Sedia 1’, after a design by Enzo Mari, 1990s.

Pine wood and nails. 50 x 52.5 x 85cm high (seat 47cm high)

In 1974, the Italian designer Enzo Mari published 19 furniture designs that one could make by oneself in his book ‘Autoprogettazione?’. With this programm he created a counter proposal to the paradigm of mass consumption, an alternative to formalism and opening a path to the democratisation of design.
This chair was made by a skilled carpenter according to the original ideas Enzo Mari in the 1990s and has since gained a desirable warm patina.
Nice original condition. Some small scratches and stains commensurate with age.

Price: 1.100 euro
