Born in the province of Novara, he was a Milanese by adoption, and shared with Milan all the seasons of contemporary history \u2013 from the \u201cHot Autumn\u201d, to the oil crisis, to the dark years of terrorism, to the \u201criflusso\u201d (a general withdrawal to the private sphere) of the 1980s. These periods were reflected in his projects as a designer and as an artist. <strong>In 1974, for example, with the exhibition &#8220;Proposta per un&#8217;autoprogettazione&#8221;, at Galleria Milano<\/strong>, Mari tried to build an alternative to the &#8220;design boutique system&#8221;, as he already called the design system with its design-production-sale in an exclusive store chain.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_148145\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-148145\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-148145 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designdiffusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/autoprogettazione-mari.jpg\" alt=\"enzo-mari-design.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"747\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-148145\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The pieces of the &#8220;Proposta per un&#8217;autoprogettazione&#8221; catalogue, Enzo Mari, exhibition at Galleria Milano, 1974<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Autoprogettazione (literally, self-design) catalogue included few and simple pieces of furniture that anyone could build at home with wood, hammer and nails. Their design was deliberately very simple, so that, although planks were not cut with utmost precision, the piece could be assembled anyway. The volume published by Edizioni Corraini in 2002, Autoprogettazione?, included several letters from people who had built their furniture following the instructions of &#8220;Proposta per un&#8217;autoprogettazione&#8221;, and all of them were extremely satisfied with the result and the quality\/price ratio. In 2012, Artek produced the Sedia 1 chair, from the Autoprogettazione catalogue.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_148155\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-148155\" style=\"width: 1334px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-148155 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.designdiffusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/immagine_2020-10-20_154753.png\" alt=\"enzo-mari-design.jpg\" width=\"1334\" height=\"1032\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-148155\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sedia 1 chair, from \u201cProposta per un&#8217;autoprogettazione\u201d, produced by Artek in 2012<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In the early Seventies, <strong>Enzo Mari had designed a chair for <a href=\"\/?p=143823\">Driade<\/a>, the Box chair<\/strong>, which could be disassembled in only 8 pieces, sold in a box and carried in a bag, encouraging once again the design inclination that all of us have.
