1950s Vanity or Writting desk by Ico & Luisa Parisi for La Permanente Mobili

About the Item

Fine 1950s Vanity or Writting desk by Ico & Luisa Parisi for La Permanente Mobili di Cantù ( labelled) in solid maple and top in teak veneer with geometric pattern About Ico & Luisa Parisi Ico Parisi was one of the influential designers who shaped the look of the 1950s. The Sicilian-born architect considered himself a Renaissance man, and he was prolific as a filmmaker and designer of furniture, glass, and jewelry. Alone or in collaboration with his wife, Luisa, a student of Gio Ponti, Parisi worked to create desks, chairs, and upholstered sofas in wood and metal for high-end clients. In pieces like his 1955 lounge chair, with its crimson or lime green upholstery and curvaceous wooden frame, Parisi’s work epitomizes the funky, modernist style of the early atomic age.
