Enzo Mari (1932 - 2020) was an Italian modernist artist and furniture designer who is known to have influenced many generations of industrial designers.
Mari was born in Novara, Italy, and he studied at the Brera Academy in Milan, Italy from 1952 to 1956
From 1956 onward, he specialized in industrial design and created a portfolio of more than 2,000 works
In the 1960s, he published a series of books with his then-wife Lela Mari, including "The Apple and the Butterfly," a book of illustrations depicting the story of a caterpillar and an apple, without any text
His simple rendition of an apple and a pear, Una La Mela and Due La Pera, from 1963, have become iconic images recognized the world over.
In the 1970s as a professor at The Humanitarian Society, he founded the Nuova Tendenza art movement in Milan. Mari also taught at University of Parma, the Accademia Carrara, and the Milan Polytechnic
