A 3 metres long corrugated pressboard sheet is transformed by Enzo Mari into a “defensive” wall to protect a place to play: ten panels with different shapes and decorations to loose imagination, invent stories and new characters at each time.  A light “fortification” to be set no matter where in a few seconds, to create an imagination break in everyday life.

Yellow circles like the sun, blue waves like the sea, a wall made of red bricks… no written rules, only the creativity of the player to invent each time very new rules.

Il posto dei giochi, a child’s natural habitat, was originally produced by Bruno Danese in 1967; it is now republished by Corraini in the collection dedicated to artists’ toys and games, next to Bruno Munari’s ABC with imagination (1960) and Plus and minus (1970)
Enzo Mari was born in Novara in 1932. He attended the Brera Academy of Fine Arts and dedicated himself to exploring “the psichology of vision and design methods”.
As a designer, he worked for the top Italian and international manufactures, and examples of his design objects can be found in many museums the world over.
He has been awarded countless prizes, among which 4 “Compasso d’oro”.
