Poltrone MIM "Parioli 8105" di Ennio Fazioli
Located in Conversano, IT
Stupenda coppia di poltrone da ufficio "Parioli" versione Modello 8105 disegnate da Ennio Fazoli nel 1960 e prodotte negli anni 70 dalla nota Azienda Italiana MIM Mobili Italiani Moderni. La poltrone da ufficio Parioli, sono composte da una struttura portante con scocche in compensato curvato di palissandro ad alta resistenza meccanica su cui sono fissate le imbottiture di gommapiuma stampata, il rivestimento è di tessuto originale in ottime condizioni, ha una base di alluminio pressofuso girevole, mentre il comfort è assicurato da due punti di snodo, uno tra base e sedile, e uno tra sedile e schienale. Le caratteristiche significative erano individuate nella solidità, agilità, elasticità e leggerezza. Ottime condizioni generali, solo qualche piccolo segno del tempo come da fotografie. Spesso queste poltrone vengono erroneamente attribuite a Ico e Luisa Parisi sia da mercanti, che da case d'asta. Fonte Archivio Fazoli Nome del Prodotto: Poltrone MIM "Parioli 8105" di Ennio Fazioli Designer: Ennio Fazoli Anno di Progettazione: 1960 Stile: Moderno Materiali Principali: Compensato curvato di palissandro, gommapiuma stampata, tessuto Design Distintivo: Struttura portante in palissandro con imbottiture di gommapiuma stampata, base girevole in alluminio pressofuso Dimensioni: 69x70xH90cm Comfort: Due punti di snodo per assicurare comfort ottimale Utilizzo Tipico: Poltrone per ufficio Versatilità: Adatte per varie impostazioni di ufficio Stato Attuale del Design: Ottime condizioni generali, con lievi segni del tempo Note Aggiuntive: Spesso erroneamente attribuite a Ico e Luisa Parisi. Fonte: Archivio Fazoli Era l'ottobre del 1958 quando il ventottenne Ennio Fazioli apre in largo dei Lombardi a Roma il primo showroom della nuova azienda, la MIM, e può finalmente dimenticare i mobili realizzati fino ad allora dalla Industria Mobili Fazioli; la vecchia produzione viene drasticamente abbandonata e ci si lancia in una totalmente nuova, quei mobili, cioè, che si cominciava allora a chiamare di design, termine ancora sconosciuto ai più, tanto che veniva pronunciato come era scritto. L'elegante allestimento del negozio è progettato da Ico Parisi che firma anche la nuova collezione. In quel periodo «Domus» introduce in Italia il mobile scandinavo di cui venivano esaltate le virtù: la semplicità, la praticità, l'onestà. Gli italiani assimilano quel linguaggio che ha il merito di svecchiarne il gusto. È un modo "nuovo" di fare mobili, che poi è un modo nuovo di abitare in una casa nuova: moderna, comoda e razionale. Lo stesso Fazioli è affascinato da questa novità ma non ne è convito appieno, si rende conto che quel tipo di approccio pur moderno e all'avanguardia, così com'è è adatto ai climi e alle società dei paesi da cui viene, Svezia, Finlandia e Danimarca, nelle nostre case e alle nostre latitudini non sembra adatto. A questo punto l'attenzione di Fazioli si rivolge al Nord e va direttamente da Ponti...

Unique Chairs, Sofas and Other Seating for Sale on 1stDibs

With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.

Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.

Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.

The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.

Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.

With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.

Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.

No matter your style, the collection of unique chairs, sofas and other seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
