Enzo Mari box model 3065 Danese Italy 1960

This rare container, model 3065 is designed by Enzo Mari and manufactured by Danese in the 1960s, is a stunning example of Mari’s visionary approach to functional design. The piece features a silver-plated metal base with a striking perspex lid, distinguished by its bold graphical circular pattern in white and transparent sections. The contrast between the sleek acrylic top and the richly patinated silver bottom creates a truly unique aesthetic.

Over time, the silver plating has developed an exceptional patina, adding depth, texture, and a sense of history to the piece. This natural aging enhances its character and uniqueness, making it a standout collectible. The box remains in excellent original condition, with no notable flaws. Adding to its rarity and authenticity, the lid is signed by Enzo Mari, while the bottom is stamped: Danese Milano, Made in Italy, Dis. Enzo Mari, and is hand-numbered 1112, likely referencing the silverwork. These storage boxes were produced in extremely limited numbers, making them exceptionally hard to find, especially in such untouched condition.

Enzo Mari’s designs are highly sought after worldwide, and this particular piece is a must-have for any serious collector. A fusion of art, design, and craftsmanship, this container is a testament to Mari’s enduring influence on modern design.
