I've been watching your videos from home made modern since 2014; I remember because I was an architecture undergrad at the time, and your design style resonated with me a lot. The first thing I thought when I started watching your videos was having that feeling that Enzo Mari influenced your work, and I definitely share the same opinion you do regarding his work. Enzo Mari's greatness as a designer lies in his profound understanding of design's role in society, his commitment to meaningful and responsible creations, and his enduring influence on the design community. His legacy continues to inspire designers to think critically about their work and I really hope he is never forgotten.

yes! The idea for this channel is to really go deep on the ideas, experiences, and topics that shaped the way I think. The goal is sort of to create a video sketchbook of my life as a designer

Ben this is a great video. Your big building projects have been mass appeal and its awesome to see you revisiting the small and more personal stuff. Feels like early days with better audio quality.

I'm a fine artist who's probably much more in line with Enzo Mari's politics - of course, I think he was sometimes too ultra-left/a bit of a downtrodden older socialist, but still never sold out on his core beliefs. Somewhat similar to Jean-Luc Godard in a way, but for design. However, I thought you really approached this topic with great care and true appreciation despite your political difference. I really loved this video, thanks 😊

Great idea for a series. Thank you for exposing us to Mari. Reminds me of the furniture made in the internment camps. Thank you for sharing! 🙂🙏🙏🙏

Great 1st of a series choice. Of course buying mass produced simple wood chair would likely be cheaper than making one’s own. However, designs such as yours make “making” less intimidating. Add to that the prospect of making something that actually looks good and and you have more motivation to try. Learning with basic tools to make a straight cut can be the first step to build confidence for more sophisticated projects and a skill development. Imj.

Thanks for sharing. This certainly answers some of my questions. Thumbs up sir. (Authentic inconsistency; it's like you know me.)

Ah yeah Enzo Mari stuff doesn't increase in value.. His table only costs 17 thousands €, his chairs 1400 each, he has paperweights that costs 3k. What are you talking about ? And if your work is not political by choice why even picking Enzo? The man would have literally laughed at you for that take
