About the Item
Mid Century modern Bar Cart by MIM Roma attributed to designer Ico Parisi in teak with brass edging Interior lined with two-tone Formica and mirror.
MIM Roma
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. The elegant store layout is designed by Ico Parisi, who also signs the new collection.
At that time "Domus" introduced Scandinavian furniture to Italy, whose virtues were extolled: simplicity, practicality, honesty. Italians assimilate that language, which has the merit of debasing their taste. It is a "new" way of making furniture, which is then a new way of living in a new house: modern, comfortable and rational. Fazioli himself is fascinated by this novelty but is not fully convinced by it; he realizes that that kind of approach, while modern and cutting-edge, as it is suited to the climates and societies of the countries from which he comes, Sweden, Finland and Denmark, in our homes and latitudes does not seem suitable.
At this point Fazioli's attention turned to the North and he went directly to Ponti to the editorial office of "Domus" in Milan; the editor initially received him with distrust. However, Ponti appreciated this young entrepreneur's enthusiasm and referred him to an eclectic designer from Como, Ico Parisi.The two met in June 1957, came to an agreement, and Parisi began sketching a series of furniture pieces and sent preliminary drawings to Rome where they were engineered by Fazioli and translated into executives. New products are developed separately from current production, a workshop is used to make prototypes where two workers with some machinery are employed-the productions were so different that they could not coexist.
Thus a new company was born, to be called Mobili Italiani Moderni, emphasizing the desire to combine modernity with Italian taste and elegance.
The period from the meeting with Parisi to the creation of the new company lasts barely a year; it is an experimental phase, the collection is made, new technologies are tested. In mid-1958 the old company was closed and MIM took its place.
Ad ottobre di quell'anno si inaugura il nuovo showroom in largo dei Lombardi, dove vengono presentati i mobili del catalogo insieme ad altri mobili prodotti da altre ditte, l'impressione che si ricava dalla prima collezione MIM è che sembra finita l'epoca dello stile scandinavo la cui essenzialità poco si sposava con il gusto e con la casa italiani e mal interpretava la nuova sicurezza acquisita dal paese alla fine degli anni Cinquanta.
The layout of the new showroom expresses the new course that Fazioli wants to give to the initiative: it is elegant, modern and refined, the arrangement of the furniture on display is framed by studied wood paneling and enriched by works by artists such as Novelli and Fontana, the work of Parisi, a character of autonomous thinking and outside the box, is in perfect harmony with MIM intent on working with an idea of industrial production that in addition to being innovative is also attentive to a path of integration between the arts.

This fantastic piece was designed in Italy during the 1950s for Cassina.
This piece is going to add lightness to a living room with its shapes and materials. The wood and crystal glass will astonish with their purity.
Born in Naples in 1929, Italian architect-designer Cesare Lacca created modernist furniture and metalwork throughout the 1950s. Though details of his personal life and professional training remain lost to history, there are sufficient surviving primary sources that document his many elegant designs in brass—work for which he is best know and which fetch high prices from collectors.
Like many Italian designers in the 20th century, Lacca moved to Milan after World War II to launch his career. Before he was even 21 years old, his work was selected by a group of American curators for inclusion in the landmark exhibition Italy at Work: Her Renaissance in Design Today that toured 12 US museums between 1950 and 1953—the first major exhibition of Italian design outside of Italy. The exhibition showcased the best and brightest of Italian designers who had embraced modernist principles and rejuvenated traditional Italian crafts, like Carlo Mollino , Franco Albini, and Gio Ponti
In the exhibition catalogue, curator Meyric R. Roger’s spotlights Lacca's expert achievements in brass, noting “the variety and quality of his creations,” which “place him high among the architect-designers leading the current [Modernist] movement." Rogers adds, "The quality of his work...provide[s] all the decorative effectiveness needed without strain or exaggeration”.
Lacca designed a great many tea carts and serving trolleys in his career—which make up a large proportion of what is available on the vintage market today—as well as magazine racks and coffee tables. Lacca’s most iconic tea cart was manufactured by Italian brand Cassina and features sculpted beech, cedar, teak, or walnut with brass details, a glass tabletop, and a removable glass tray.
Lacca also designed high-backed lounge chairs, which were regularly featured in Arredoluce advertisements for Angelo Lelli’s lighting...
