Enzo Mari is one of the masters of Italian Design. Novara 1932 - Milan 2020. Has always lived in Milan where he first moved to train as an artist. His work ranges from design to painting, from graphics to installation design. He has been both a university lecturer and a political activist. His characteristic style with its minimal forms and consistent use of materials is considered fundamental to the history of Italian design and the development of its role on the world stage. Mari worked with Danese Milano during a strong period of growth for the company and this allowed him to experiment with techniques, create installations, sculptures and products that became true milestones in the history of Italian design.
Multiple works by Mari have been on display at the Museum of Modern Art. The Triennale, Milan is exhibiting a tribute to Enzo Mari, curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist with Francesca Giacomelli from October 2020 to September 2021. He donated the archive of his designs to the city of Milan on the condition that it may not be displayed for 40 years. Source: Wikipedia
