Enzo Mari
Italy, 1932
"Form is everything" - Enzo Mari
Mari was born in Novara, Italy and he studied at the Brera Academy in Milan, Italy from 1952 to 1956. In the 1970s, he founded the Nuova Tendenza art movement as a professor at Società Umanitaria, also in Milan. Also in that decade, he designed the Sof Sof chair and the "Box" chair. He draws inspiration from the idealism of the arts and crafts movement, and his political views as a communist.
Enzo Mari has published a few books. In the 1960s, published a series of books, including "The Apple and the Butterfly", a wordless book of paintings depicting the story of a caterpillar and an apple and in 1974 he made the book Autoprogettazione, which deals around the DIY construction of furniture. He has multiple works on display at the Museum of Modern Art (New York). He has had recent retrospective shows in Turin, Italy, and an important presentation of his work in "Adhocracy" show during the first Istanbul Design Biennial.
Since its founding in 1957, Danese Milano has epitomized the fusion of artistic flair and utilitarian design. Initially shaped by icons like Bruno Munari and Achille Castiglioni, the brand has evolved by incorporating the visions of contemporary designers like Michele De Lucchi and Richard Hutten. Known for its functional yet aesthetically pleasing products, Danese Milano remains at the forefront of design innovation.
The brand's strength lies in its ability to reinvent everyday items into elegant solutions, making it a staple in design circles worldwide. Danese Milano is its collaboration with architects and designers across generations, seamlessly integrating classic influences with modern dynamics to iconic pieces like the Falkland lamp, Formosa calendar, and the Elica bookstand.
