About the Item

Italian sofa, early 1960s, in pink velvet brass feet the excellent conditions by Ico Parisi. Padiglione Soggiorno in Parco Sempione, for the Milan Triennial X, 1954. Photo by Paolo Monti. Life[edit] Padiglione Soggiorno, Photo by Paolo Monti, 1954. Como, Villa comunale dell'Olmo. Exhibition Colori e forme nella casa di oggi. Casa per le vacanze (with Giampaolo Allevi). Photo by Paolo Monti, 1957. Ico Parisi was born in Palermo in 1916. He graduated in construction and served his apprenticeship in the studio of Giuseppe Terragni. In 1937 he made a photographic study of the Casa del Fascio for the magazine Quadrante, which marked the whole of Parisi's research into "meditating on the legacies and contradictions of the enormous store of ideas and forms constituted by the experience of the masters".[1] His activity, marked by continuous experimentation, consists in an incessant research in the fields of architecture, art and design. Between 1948 and 1950 he devoted himself to the study of furniture elements. In the field of design, the crucial encounters with Munari and Fontana (1951), and Melotti profoundly marked his experience. In 1948 he founded, with his wife Luisa Aiani, planner and designer, the studio La ruota which ceased its activity in 1995.[1] In 1954 he won the Gold Medal at the Milan Triennial X with the work Padiglione soggiorno, with Silvio Longhi and Luigi Antonietti. In 1957 he presented the work Casa per vacanze at the exhibition Colori e forme della casa d'oggi, the result of a collaboration with Manlio Rho, Francesco Somaini and Gian Paolo Allevi.[1] He died in Como in 1996.[1]
