An elegant and functional piece for entertaining. More to the Story... The Italian Mid-Century Modern period is celebrated for its elegance and innovative use of materials, profoundly influenced by figures like Ico Parisi (1916-1996). While Parisi himself was a prolific architect and designer known for his refined forms and attention to detail, the "Ico Parisi style" often refers to the broader aesthetic of sophisticated, sculptural Italian design from the era, characterized by a blend of modernity and classicism. Cesare Lacca was another prominent Italian designer known for his elegant furniture and bar carts, often incorporating a rich interplay of materials like brass, wood, and glass. Pieces like this bar cart exemplify the era's dedication to creating functional objects that were also works of art, blending luxurious materials with practical design for the discerning modernist home. These carts became symbols of sophisticated entertaining, reflecting the burgeoning post-war Italian design landscape.
