Quick View Sale Loading... Loading... The Mari Chair $248.00 - $-248.00 In this 4-week woodworking class, students will build the Sedia, a chair designed by Italian designer Enzo Mari as part of his Autoprogettazione (self-design) series. Originally published in 1974, Mari’s project challenged the idea that good design must come from factories by releasing a series of simple construction drawings for modern furniture pieces using standard lumber and basic tools. In this class, students will work with dimensional lumber to construct a fashionable piece of design history. Studio time will emphasize precise measuring, repetition, and thoughtful assembly. We will discuss Mari’s philosophy of open design and how structure, proportion, and material honesty can shape an object's personality. An in-class wood fee of $50 will be assessed. Registration Requirements In the spirit of Enzo Mari's philosophy of accessible design, no prior woodworking experience is required. What You Will Make One full-scale Sedia 1 chair with custom dimensions and finishes. What You Will Learn Cutting and preparing dimensional lumber Accurate measuring and repetitive layout techniques Fastening strategies for strong structural connections Clamping and assembly sequencing Sanding and finishing for a clean, graphic result The ideas behind Mari’s Autoprogettazione philosophy What’s Included in Your Class Tuition Consumable materials such as wood glue and sandpaper Basic finishing supplies Access to the woodshop during open studio hours Safety gear, including eye and ear protection Summer 4-Week Mini Session Sunday 2:00 - 5:00 pm - Begins July 19 Sunday 2:00 - 5:00 pm - Begins July 19 - $248.00 Quantity - + You can't add more of this item to the cart Add to cart View all details The Mari Chair
