Build your own chair based on Enzo Mari’s project, Proposta per un’autoprogettazione (1974). Including only those elements he saw as essential for a design to carry out its purpose, Mari challenged would-be consumers to become their own furniture makers. Offering the performance of honest work as an antidote to the capitalist industrial complex, Mari encouraged reestablishing the bond of ownership between product and labourer, where participants could come to understand the means of production in practice. “It is a form of research and research can only be carried out through direct experience.” These DIY bundles are available from A4 Store on the occasion of Assembling Chairs in Goods at A4, which coincides with Cape Town Furniture Week.
