Danese Milano Tre, La Mela e la Pera silkscreen print

Tre, La Mela e la Pera is a silkscreen print by Enzo Mari for Danese Milano, designed in 1963 as part of the iconic Nature Series. The work explores the transformation of natural forms into universal visual symbols through a process of reduction and formal synthesis: Mari eliminates superfluous details to reveal the essential structure of the subject, producing an image of extraordinary graphic clarity. Executed as a single-colour silkscreen on Dropjet 200 g/m² paper, with dimensions of 1120 × 780 mm, the print is supplied complete with plastic hanging bars.

The apple and pear — two archetypal forms deeply rooted in the collective visual memory — are rendered as bold, instantly recognisable silhouettes. By reducing the representation to its most fundamental form, Mari transforms everyday objects into timeless symbols that connect art, design and visual communication. This rigorous approach to visual language makes Tre, La Mela e la Pera a work capable of enhancing any domestic setting, from the living room to more intimate spaces such as the bedroom, where the symbolic strength of the image engages quietly with the surrounding interior architecture.
