“The Marii” takes a famous open design chair by Enzo Mari († 2020) and upgrades it to an open circular design chair for the Ikego model catalog. The new version is made from multipurpose parts, has an adjustable backrest and built-in storage. It was created in autumn 2023 as the project of our intern Audrey Burnard.

Inspiration
↑
The chair design of Enzo Mari that inspired the solution above was part of his collection Autoprogettazione? – a collection of furniture solutions to build yourself. A noteworthy step in the history of open design.
Alternate models:
All new parts were tested for universality. This resulted in further additions to the Ikego model catalog. These models use parts from “The Marii”:
1 Badli & Bork
“Bork” is a little coffee table/stool with a storage functionality you can extend infinitely.
“Badli” is a little towel shelf for your bathroom with a textile part instead of a board.
