Ico Parisi Attributed, Teak Wall Display Unit with Multi-Colored Drawers

About the Item

Custom Mid-Century Italian Teak and Maple Wall Display Unit Attributed to Ico Parisi In the style of Gio Ponti Circa 1950s Possibly produced for La Permanente Mobili Cantù A rare and commanding custom-designed Mid-Century wall display unit in teak and maple, attributed to Ico Parisi and executed in the style of Gio Ponti. This monumental three-section installation showcases the visionary design language of Italian modernism — refined, architectural, and effortlessly functional. The structure features large inset mirrors separated by vertical brass light fixtures with original push-button switches. Below the mirrors, glass display shelves, an open shelf, and a combination of closed cabinets offer both display and storage versatility. The side cabinets include adjustable shelves; the center cabinet is fitted with vibrant, multicolored drawers — a striking visual detail characteristic of Parisi’s more expressive work. The piece is believed to have been custom-commissioned for commercial use, likely as a high-end retail display. Today, it would make an equally dramatic statement in a luxury dressing room, personal bar, gallery, or boutique interior. Design details reflect Parisi’s deep involvement with La Permanente Mobili Cantù, where he created some of his most collectible furniture from 1954 onward. The brass lighting, bold lines, and tailored modularity align with his studio’s hallmark qualities. Additional Features: – Original push-button light switch (right side) – Vertical brass fixtures with heavy patina – Two original glass shelves included – Adjustable internal shelving – Self-leveling cabinet feet Condition: In original vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. Includes patina on brass, light surface scratches to wood, and minor chips to glass and mirror panels. Rich character throughout. Provenance: Attributed to Ico Parisi. In the style of Gio Ponti. Possibly produced by La Permanente Mobili Cantù, Italy.
