About the Item

Luisa Parisi Red & White Impronta - Mano Vase For Cassina From the creative flair of Ico and Luisa Parisi comes the ceramic hand vase, part of the Impronta collection, conceived in the 1960s by the designer and his wife as a refined series of home accessories with clear pop-art references. Thanks to painstaking historically accurate lines of inquiry and development conducted in partnership with Roberta Lietti, curator of the Ico Parisi Design Archives, Cassina re-edits a cylindrical vase with an opening in the shape of a mouth, a single-stem vase characterized by a hollow contour in the shape of a hand, and a pin tray that reproduces the cast of an open hand, poised to receive small everyday items. An elegant and functional creation, this object is made of hand-decorated glazed ceramic and is distinguished by its strong visual and chromatic impact that harks back to a period characterised by strong material research applied to design. MATERIAL Enamelled ceramic COLOURS Black and white, red and white MEASURES 19x h.21,5 x 5,5 cm" The vases and pin trays in the Impronta ceramics collection grew out of the creative talent of Ico and Luisa Parisi. Conceived in the 1960s by the designer and his wife as a sophisticated series of home accessories, the pop-art influence is clear. Thanks to painstaking historically accurate lines of inquiry and development conducted in partnership with Roberta Lietti, curator of the Ico Parisi Design Archives, Cassina re-edits a cylindrical vase with an opening in the shape of a mouth, a single-stem vase characterized by a hollow contour in the shape of a hand, and a pin tray that reproduces the cast of an open hand, poised to receive small everyday items. Imbued with striking visual and chromatic impact, these elegant, functional objects are made of hand-decorated enamelled ceramic reminiscent of a period characterized by innovative tactile exploration applied to design.

In 1925 the Parisi family moved to Como where Ico earned his diploma as a building inspector in 1936 and completed an apprenticeship at Studio Terragni. The studio gave him the opportunity to get to know and interact with prominent figures of Como's architecture and art world such as Cattaneo, Lingeri, Radice, Rho, Persico and Sartoris. Passionate about cinema and photography, at Studio Terragni's request he photographed the Casa del Fascio. Discharged from the front in 1943, he returned to Como and resumed his design activity, mainly working on individual furnishings, exhibition stands and interior architecture. He collaborated with Luisa Aiani and soon married her in 1947. Together they opened the studio La Ruota, a place of design but also a place of art, exhibitions and culture.Parisi's work became more and more prolific from the 1950s, in both the architectural and design fields. He designed furniture, firstly unique pieces with craftsmen from Brianza and later for industrial production with companies such as Cassina, as well as numerous decorative art objects using materials such as ceramics and glass.The late 1960s marked a precise turning point in his design research. With Contenitoriumani, created in collaboration with the sculptor Francesco Somaini and presented for the first time at the Milan Furniture Fair in 1968, Parisi embarked on a new path of investigation aimed at defining a utopian-existential idea of living.The culmination of his design and existential research came between 1974 and 1976 with "Operazione Arcevia", addressed in a collective and interdisciplinary manner and aimed at designing an entire community. The work was presented at the 76th Biennale of Venice and subsequently exhibited at the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome (1979).This strongly utopian socio-urban experience gave rise to his subsequent graphic research, which became the theme of innumerable collective and personal exhibitions. He died in Como on the 19th of December 1996. About The Manufacture: Established in 1927 by Cesare and Umberto Cassina in Meda, Italy, Cassina launched industrial design in Italy in the 1950s, based on a totally innovative approach that marked the transition from artisan production to mass production. With a mindset focused on research and innovation, Cassina combines technology and long-standing artisan craftsmanship.
