Ico Parisi

A student of Giuseppe Terragni, Ico Parisi (1916-1996) is renowned for being one of the main authors of the Italian furniture style of the 50s. A multifaceted spirit that conceived design as being part of a whole with art and architecture, from 1947 he began to sign his production with his wife Luisa in the studio La Ruota in Como. Among the most iconic furniture of the couple, there is the tables with aerodynamic lines, with X or Y legs culminating in brass punches, for its time already very modern and turned in fashion in contemporary décor. From the egg-shaped armchairs for Cassina to the furniture for Stildomus, their works embrace various fields, distinguished by an elegant forms that also captured the attention of the American company Singer and Son in New York, the first company, in the 1950s, to export Parisi furniture overseas.
