Midcentury Wood and Brass Italian Magazine Rack in Ico Parisi Style, 1950s

About the Item

Amazing midcentury wood and brass folding magazine rack. This item was produced in Italy during 1950s in the style of Ico Parisi. This folding magazine rack is marvellous as it has two watercolour landscapes engravings on each side affixed behind the glass, plus beech and brass details. Iconic design and unique features, this piece is going to be a central point in a midcentury-style living room or entrance hall. Ico Parisi was an Italian architect and designer. Born Domenico Parisi in 1916 in Palermo, Italy, he was involved in building construction and architecture in Como during his early adulthood. By the 1940s, Parisi took up filmmaking and began designing furniture in 1945, for which he would become most renowned. His designs are characterized by their Italian Mid-Century Modern aesthetic, constructed using soft woods often cut into boomerang-like shapes, augmented by metal slats and boldly colored upholstery. His most prolific period was the two decades that preceded 1965, when he married and formed a design team with his wife, Luisa Aiani, in 1948. He studied architecture between 1949-1952 under Alberto Sartoris at the Institute Atheneum in Lausanne, Switzerland, and became a member of the Associazione per il Disegno Industriale in 1956. Parisi died in 1996.
