TABLE CALENDAR Base in ABS, lithographed PVC.
The perpetual table calendar is inspired by railway signage, and reproduces its immediate effectiveness. It was born from the functional need to mold the base in a single piece, and from the necessary stability of the object.
The sheets rotate on a pivot and identify the month, number, and day of the week.

Enzo Mari was born in Novara in 1932. He completed his education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, which he complemented by an intense artistic activity from the 1950s, with solo and group exhibitions in galleries and contemporary art museums. In 1963, he coordinated the Italian group "Nuove Tendenze" and in 1965 curated its exhibition of optical, kinetic, and programmatic art at the Zagreb Biennial.
He participated individually in various editions of the Venice Biennale and the Milan Triennale. At the same time, he began working in design, initially as a personal formal researcher, and then in collaboration with numerous industries in the fields of graphics, publishing, industrial products, and exhibition design.
A hallmark of his work, which has established itself internationally as one of the most representative of Italian design, is the constant research and experimentation with new forms and meanings for products, even in opposition to traditional industrial design schemes.
