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...

Antique and Vintage Office Chairs and Desk Chairs

An essential part of every office or home workstation, office chairs and desk chairs are critically important to your comfort and getting the job done.

Desk chairs have evolved over time. While writing the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson pined for a wider range of motion and introduced some improvements to his English-style Windsor chair, inventing the swivel chair along the way. So the next time you roll, recline or swivel at your vintage desk, remember: The third president of the United States had a lot to do with that functionality.

Changes in the availability of resources have also led to innovations in desk chair design. After World War II, for example, optimistic American designers made use of wartime materials in their efforts to create practical domestic goods.

Mid-century modernism is the name given to the broad postwar time period that prioritized thoughtful design. Journalist Cara Greenberg, who coined the term “mid-century modernism,” cites “ergonomic wisdom” as part of the reason for the longevity of the era’s furnishings, and when it comes to sitting in a desk chair for hours at a time, what could be more important than ergonomic support?

As mid-century modernism was marked by resourcefulness and boundless creativity — and produced designers who, in most cases, prioritized comfort and support — it follows that all mid-century chairs are not the same. Nowhere is this perhaps more evident than at Herman Miller. The legendary Michigan furniture manufacturer got its start in the office, with design director George Nelson enlisting the likes of Charles and Ray Eames to produce desk chairs and lounge chairs that are still celebrated today. Elsewhere at the time, the numerous pieces Florence Knoll created for Knoll’s office furniture line were envisioned as design solutions for the changing needs of residential and office spaces.

If you’re working remotely and streamlined seating isn’t your thing, don’t be afraid of making a statement with your office chair. Introduce a touch of drama to your video calls by way of 19th-century desk accessories and the alluring forms we typically associate with antique desk chairs designed in the Empire and Regency styles. For a minimalist touch, a spare, utilitarian Industrial-style office chair can work in any space but will fit in particularly well amid the exposed brick and steel architecture that characterizes a loft apartment.

An inspiring home office cleverly mixes materials and styles to create a welcoming place of productivity and comfort, and if you’re gathering with colleagues at your company HQ, an array of wood, leather and metal office chairs can help integrate disparate textures in a conference room or any other collaborative space. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse collection of office and desk chairs today.
