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.

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...

Kaare Klint Armchair Model 3758a in Leather and Mahogany Rud Rasmussen Denmark
Located in WIJCKEL, NL
Armchair model 3758 A in original red indian leather and mahogany base. Model designed in 1927 for the Danish Museum of Decorative Art, produced by Rud Rasmussen in the 1940’s. Signed with manufacturer’s label to underside: (Rud. Rasmussens Snedkerier).
Kaare Klint is widely recognized as the father of Danish modern design. It is hard to overstate his influence. He developed an entirely new analytical approach to furniture design that his students at the Danish Academy of Art would emulate for years to come, yet was also inspired by historic designs from various cultures, modernizing and re-interpreting classic pieces for new generations.
Literature: Kaare Klint, Harkær, pg. 28-30. Dansk Møbelkunst Gennem 40 Aar: 1927-1936, Jalk, pg. 169. Danish Chairs, Oda, pg. 22-23.
Kaare Klint (1888-1954) is regarded as the founding father of Danish Modernim. As an architect, furniture designer and leading professor at the Department of Furniture Design at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen, Klint established the principles of modern Danish furniture by combining a profound appreciation of traditional construction techniques with a modernist emphasis on function and a rejection of ornaments.
Klint’s design was always based on relentless research; he never compromised. Every piece had to fulfill its purpose, be completely clear in its construction with dimensions and proportions corresponding to the human body and display materials and craftsmanship of the highest quality. Logic, often using a mathematical system of measures, and a constructive way of thinking were the foundation of Klint’s philosophy of furniture design. Like many of his contemporaries, counting Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius, he advocated standardization and functional requirements and dismissed the use of all ornamentation. But Klint realized his vision in wood and leather, using traditional craftsmen and working methods and often finding inspiration in historical models. In this way, he charted the course for an alternative Nordic Functionalism that idealized the workshop and the collaboration between furniture architects and cabinetmakers as opposed to the factory.
Kaare Klint’s first major work was a collaboration with his mentor, the architect Carl Petersen. In 1914 they were commissioned to design furniture and fixtures for Faaborg Art Museum. One of the highlights to emerge from this commission was the Faaborg chair, a light and elegant chair with clear references to classical furniture. The construction and proportions of an 18th century English Chippendale...
