Product details
- This is the official exhibition catalogue for Enzo Mari curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Francesca Giacomelli.
- It celebrates the life, work and thinking of one of the leading masters and theorists of Italian design.
- Explore over 60 years of Mari's work through plans, sketches, unpublished archive material, essays and interviews that trace, for the first time, a systematic itinerary – articulated into 19 “research platforms” – that conveys Mari’s sensitivity as a designer, artist, critic and theoretician.
- According to Mari, design can only be regarded as such if it also transmits knowledge.
- His timeless projects are conceived in such a way as to be sustainable – from a material as much an aesthetic perspective – and accessible to all.
- As Hans Ulrich Obrist recalls, “For Enzo everything revolves around the object, and good design alone is destined to triumph”.
- Alongside an in-depth monographic study and a complete list of works, the catalogue features numerous interviews and evocative contributions from internationally acclaimed designers and artists, whom the curator has invited to pay tribute to the oeuvre and figure of Enzo Mari through their works.
