Enzo is a project of outdoor furniture for the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna, an evolution from a previous outdoor installation, "Enzis", that were destroyed by a fire in Winter 2009. "The need to replace so many seating elements at once brought with it the possibility and necessity to consider changing the appearance and introducing technical improvements," says MuseumsQuartier Director Wolfgang Waldner. Not only the design is new, the next generation furniture has also been produced using technology that that makes it more fireproof and more resistant to damage. PPAG, the authors of the previous project, Enzi, consulted Us, product designers MN*LS to develop the new project Enzo. "Working with Margarita Navarro and Ludwig Slezak brought important new aspects to the project because as product designers their approach is quite different from ours in many respects. After extensive research, we jointly came up with the ideal solution. We are especially pleased with the outcome because after seven years we welcomed the opportunity to create a new and improved version." says PPAG. Enthusiasts will be pleased to know that the Enzos can now be ordered directly for purchase in various color possibilities.
Entre Lineas is a one-off collection where unknown pieces are inspired by the traditions of ready-made. Through the Entre Lineas collection, MN*LS manages to add a different value to given objects and reinterpret them by the application of handmade techniques. Specifically, the collection is comprised of illuminated objects in a limited edition that appeal due to their rather poetic approach. Small hand folded antique books are turned into romantic and stylish lighting. If until now we were accustomed in using a light to read between a book's lines, now the light itself comes from between lines, in Spanish "entre lineas".
