Product details
-
This practical volume is inspired by radical Italian designer Enzo Mari and contains step-by-step DIY projects for hand-built, beautiful furniture.

It's a tribute to the simple ideas promoted by the masterful Mari: ideas that challenged the consumerism of the furniture industry.
-
Some interpreted Enzo Mari’s Autoprogettazione? as a manifesto of longing for a pre-capitalist society where people built what they needed themselves, but Mari’s goal wasn’t to make people cease consuming. He wanted them to consider the basic aspects of the objects we surround ourselves with and what makes a them beautiful, comfortable and functional.
-
Erik Eje Almqvist unpacks the practical aspects of Mari's Autoprogettazione? theory, offering simple designs and easy-to-follow instructions for handmade furniture using just a hammer, nails and boards.
