The Magis Mariolina Mono Chair has been cleverly engineered by visionary designer Enzo Mari. The polypropylene seat and back are neither screwed nor riveted to the frame, instead attached using a series of moulded ribs that grip the metal frame on the rear of the seat and back.
As one of the great exponents of Italian design Enzo Mari brings his characteristic depth to the piece, creating an intelligent object out of a simple and minimal chair.
Enzo Mari was born in Novara, Italy, in 1932. An artist and designer, he attended the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan in the early '50s and dedicated his attention to research into the methodology of design. As a true philologist of the language of the visual arts, he turned his attention to design in the late '50s, fully aware of the need to work towards a global project of quality within mass culture.
Mari has created 1600 projects for Italian and foreign companies including Driade, Zanotta, Alessi, and Magis.
