Mid-Century Modern Cabinet Console Record Player attributed to Ico Parisi design
By Ico Parisi
Located in Vigonza, Padua
This rare 1940s record player cabinet by LESA (Laboratori Elettrotecnici Società Anonima), Milan, represents a refined fusion of Italian craftsmanship and early modernist design. The piece features:
A solid wood frame veneered in exquisite walnut burl, with striking natural grain patterns that add depth and character.
Ebonized trim that highlights the clean geometry and subtle curves of the cabinet.
Slender, tapered legs typical of Italian furniture design of the period, lending the piece a light, elegant stance.
A functional 78 rpm turntable integrated into the cabinet, with original metal and bakelite components. The mechanism is in working condition.
A drop-front door that conceals the turntable when closed, preserving the cabinet’s sleek aesthetic.
A lower shelf suitable for storing records or accessories.
LESA, founded in 1929 in Milan, was a leading Italian producer of phonographs, radios and hi-fi components. The company was known for combining technical innovation with stylish furniture integration, making pieces like this a hallmark of mid-century Italian domestic design.
🌟 Why acquire this piece
Functional art: This cabinet is not only a piece of furniture, but also a working vintage audio device, providing authentic 78 rpm playback in its original form.
Historical value: An original example of LESA’s craftsmanship from the 1940s — a brand that was once a market leader in Italian hi-fi.
Aesthetic appeal: The combination of walnut burl, ebonized details and streamlined form makes it a perfect fit for Art Deco, mid-century modern, or eclectic interiors.
Conversation piece: Its rare combination of furniture and audio technology will attract attention and admiration in any setting.
Investment: Well-preserved vintage audio furniture by noted manufacturers is increasingly sought-after by collectors and interior designers.
