20th Century Belgian Wooden Pommels

About the Item

A wooden gymnastics apparatus created in 20th century Belgium. Originally created to assist in calisthenic exercises, this bench is well served by its heavy construction and sturdy base. Originally manufactured in Belgium, yet used at the Olympic Gymnasium in London, this bench exudes a compelling sense of history and importance. The thoughtful joinery and leather handles remind of a simpler, more hand-made time, and inspire an array of potential new functions that it can serve.

  • 20th Century Ico Parisi Wooden Bench for Brugnoli Mobili Cantù, 1970s
    By Ico Parisi, Brugnoli Mobili Cantú
    Located in Turin, Turin
    Ico Parisi was born in Palermo, Italy, in 1916, but as early as 1925 with his family he moved to Como, where in 1936 he graduated as a building surveyor and served an apprenticeship at the Terragni studio. Discharged from the front in 1943, he returned to Como and resumed his design activity, dealing with the creation of individual furnishings, exhibition layouts and interior architecture. He collaborated with Luisa Aiani, whom he married in 1947 and with whom he opened the studio La Ruota. In the 50s he designed furniture, first in one-piece and later for industrial production with companies such as Cassina. In the 60s, with the "Contenitoriumani" he began a new path aimed at defining a utopian-existential idea of living. The culmination of his research is between 1974 and 1976 with "Operation Arcevia," aimed at designing an entire community. Here we have a wooden bench designed by ico Parisi and realized by Brugnoli Mobili Cantù...
