ABOUT DESIGN IS DEAD
The renowned Italian designer Enzo Mari is as much known for his revolutionary designs as for his critical attitude towards the design world. Mari considered the work of many young designers to be frivolous, superfluous and a waste of labor and material. His statement ‘Design is dead’ is therefore known worldwide.
