In 1972 Italian designer Enzo Mari (1932-2020) was commissioned by Le Creuset to design a bespoke line of cookware. “La Mama” line was born featuring its signature dutch oven with distinctive, Modernist domed lid and unique T-shaped handles which became the line's trademark. Enzo Mari (1932-2020) was an Italian modernist artist and furniture designer who is known to have influenced many generations of industrial designers. “Mari believed that ‘ethics is the goal of every project.’ He didn’t want to create objects, he wanted to create models for a different society, for a different way of producing and living. The aim was to have people become part of the project itself: to free the others from the passive role of consumer, because the project is not a form to contemplate or to be consumed, but an instrument of transformation that requires the active participation of a community, made aware by knowledge.” - Francesca Giacomelli ******************************** Item is being sold as is and as described.
