Artist and designer, the ’50s saw him dedicating himself to a period of intense artistic activity, during which he was a strong exponent of programmed and kinetic art. In 1963 he coordinated the Italian group Nuova Tendenza, organising its participation in the 1965 Zagreb Biennale exhibition.
He has taken part in numerous editions of the Milan Triennale, and Venice Biennale. In parallel he has devoted his efforts to graphic design, product design, exhibition design and exhibitions. He is the author of pieces that have made design history, he has won the Compasso d’Oro Award 5 times, and has been the protagonist of debate about this profession thanks to his writings in various tones (Function of aesthetic research, 1974), irreverent works (Allegories), and personal appearences.
His pieces are exhibited in important museums and numerous solo exhibitions have been dedicated to him. Over the course of his career he has worked with the most famous Italian and international companies, among which, Zanotta, Alessi, Olivetti and Flou.

Subtract from matter to bestow upon light: the classic cuts of the Conversazione collection draw gentle archways that let light blaze its trail to the heart of crystal.
Consisting of four different kinds of old fashioned glasses, the Conversazione collection is designed to convey the perfect synthesis between different visions.
A set of classic models from the 1960s, originally made in marble by Danese, re-interpreted in the key of crystal by Arnolfo di Cambio.
The lines drawn by the master grinders of Colle Val d’Elsa emphasise the peculiar features of crystal to the fullest, making these vases a real piece of art, in a limited and numbered edition signed by Enzo Mari.
