Our team of expert artisans has breathed new life into every aspect of this piece: - The frame has been carefully inspected and reinforced where necessary, ensuring stability and longevity. - New high-density foam padding provides the perfect balance of support and comfort. - The upholstery has been carefully selected to complement the sofa's vintage character while meeting modern standards of durability. ## The Ico Parisi Influence This sofa embodies the spirit and aesthetic of mid-20th century Italian design, reminiscent of the iconic works of designers like Ico Parisi. It captures the organic forms, innovative use of materials, and the perfect marriage of function and aesthetics that characterized this golden era of furniture design.

As with many vintage pieces, its history is part of its charm and mystery. Bring home a piece that embodies Italian design history. This curved sofa inspired by mid-century aesthetics isn't just furniture; it's a conversation starter, a comfort zone, and a work of art all in one. Don't miss this opportunity to own a stunning example of vintage Italian-style craftsmanship, lovingly restored for the modern connoisseur. ## A Feast for the Senses Running your hand along the sofa's upholstery, you'll feel the quality of the fabric - a luxurious blend that's both soft to the touch and resilient against wear. The rich, white hue is a nod to the sofa's mid-century roots while offering versatility for various interior styles. ## Versatile Elegance Whether as the focal point of your living room or as an unexpected addition to a spacious bedroom, this sofa adapts effortlessly to its surroundings. Its generous proportions offer ample seating without overwhelming the space, thanks to its skillfully balanced design. ## A Piece with Presence At 265cm wide by 130cm deep, this sofa commands attention without dominating the room.

Ico Parisi Sofa, 1950
By Ico Parisi, Ariberto Colombo
Located in Berlin, DE
The sophisticated and avantgardistic design language of Ico Parisi is epitomized in this beautiful three seater. For the entrance of a villa in Como, Ico Parisi designed this beautiful seater. It consists of beautiful ash wood, brass and upholstery of velvet in elegant blue. Excellent condition. The model in question takes up the motif given by the repetition of the wooden X-shaped crosses that draw the three seats and resolve the support of the padded backrests. In this case, the supporting structure, carved in solid ash, is completed by short legs, a logical continuation of the uprights, which mark the seats. The upholstery is not original. About the designer: Ico Parisi was born in Palermo in 1916. He graduated in construction and served his apprenticeship in the studio of Giuseppe Terragni. In 1937 he made a photographic study of the Casa del Fascio for the magazine Quadrante, which marked the whole of Parisi's research into "meditating on the legacies and contradictions of the enormous store of ideas and forms constituted by the experience of the masters". His activity, marked by continuous experimentation, consists in an incessant research in the fields of architecture, art and design. Between 1948 and 1950 he devoted himself to the study of furniture elements. In the field of design, the crucial encounters with Munari and Fontana (1951), and Melotti profoundly marked his experience. In 1948 he founded, with his wife Luisa Aiani, planner and designer, the studio La ruota which ceased its activity in 1995. In 1954 he won the Gold Medal at the Milan Triennial X with the work Padiglione soggiorno, with Silvio Longhi and Luigi Antonietti. In 1957 he presented the work Casa per vacanze at the exhibition Colori e forme della casa d'oggi, the result of a collaboration with Manlio Rho...
