He grew up in Munich and studied at the School of Arts and Crafts under Richard Riemerschmid . In 1924 he joined the Die 6, a group of graphic designers and artists who created exquisite posters in the modernist style. Later, he worked for the German Vereinigte Werkstätten in Munich and for the Wiener Werkstätte , where he designed furniture, posters, as well as glass, ceramic and metal objects. He also worked as a designer for the Royal Porcelain Manufactory Berlin (KPM) and for the ceramic workshop of the Schleiß family (Schleiss-Keramik) in Gmunden , where he designed and manufactured a wide variety of ceramic items and also tiled stoves. In 1932 he travelled to the United States for the first time, where he won first prize in a poster competition for the North German Lloyd. In 1935 he emigrated permanently to New York, where he became a celebrated designer and artist. Initially, he designed brass, crystal objects and furniture for Rena Rosenthal's boutique on Madison Avenue. In 1939 he opened his own studio, Parzinger Inc. and in the early 1940's, he began designing a collection of modern furniture for Boston-based Charak Furniture Company. In the late 1940's, he founded Parzinger Originals and opened on Madison Avenue. Parzinger Originals continued until his death in 1981. Although Parzinger is best known today for exquisite furniture designs, he worked in all mediums, including silver, ceramic, metal and fabric. In the 1960s and 1970s, his focus turned to mostly painting in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s About Matt Murphy Studio: Matt Murphy is a former creative executive for Williams Sonoma and Target Corporation. He has also been widely published for his interiors, collecting and other creative pursuits. His interest in the work of Tommi Parzinger led to an introduction to Donald Cameron in the late 1990s. Cameron, who worked alongside Parzinger for nearly 40 years and designed much of the Parzinger Originals line, was Murphy's mentor and friend.Cameron generously gifted the rights to Parzinger's designs upon his death in 2011.
