About the Item

This walnut desk by Ico Parisi, was produced by Fratelli Rizzi Intimiano, Brugnoli Mobili Cantu, in 1959 for a private commission. It is documented in the Ico Parisi Archive and comes with a certificate from the archive. It has Wonderful hand hammered drawer pulls and a relaxing foot rest. It is pictured on page 431 of Ico Parisi Design Catalogo Ragionato 1936-1960 by Roberta Lietti for Silvana Editoriale. It is described as below in the catalog. "This walnut desk has a rectangular desktop, the corners of which are cut at 45 degree angles. It is held up by a structure formed by the legs slotting into the four under-desk supports at perpendicular angles. The legs are rectangular at the ends but milled in the center, joining flush with the desktop. A wooden beam slots into the two legs, joining them together, while a long, central slat connects the two pairs of legs, doubling up as a footrest as well as supporting the chest of drawers. This has an open-faced compartment and two drawers, the fronts of which are slightly setback to enable the user to better grip the everted section of the long curved handle in burnished brass. Several versions are known to have been made. One of these features a table top covered with burgundy leather. with four corners cut off to leave the wood exposed. a simpler version was also made, with drawers with inset handles or small metal handles."
