In the Picture: Enzo Mari's 'La Mela e La Pera'
They say ‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away but a pear can be so much sweeter’, now you can enjoy them both at the same time with "La Mela e La Pera" or as we say in English "The Apple and Pear". This screenprint is designed by Enzo Mari in 1963 for Danese Milano, Italy.
Enzo Mari is an icon in product, furniture & puzzle designer, a true artist, writer and teacher and was born in Italy in 1932. "La Mela e La Pera" is from Enzo Mari’s nature series.You can say that this “healty” graphic styled mod Apple and Pear is a classic piece of Modern Design...I love the simplicity and the boldness of this artwork, it makes it just that more beautiful and special. A real eye catcher that will make any room spark......................... MORE IMAGES

love them! The monochrome looks amazing, but I'm a sucker for bright red, so the apple gets my vote ... it'd look amazing in my kitchen.

I love them! La Pera brightens up up our living room every day. (see www.vorstin.nl 'for sale' for a picture ;-))
