With his book Autoprogettazione, Enzo Mari proposed a protocole to make easy-to-assemble furniture using rough boards and nails. An elementary technique to teach anyone to look at present production with a critical eye.
My goal was to build a piece from the book (Tavolo Rettangulare) to further transform it according to my own interpretation : a leaner table that allowed me to build a bench from the leftover planks.
I further developed an open-source proposal based on Mari’s triangular design of the table’s foot, allowing to build a series of furniture from a modular system that is a 2.0 version of Mari’s.
