About the Item

Ennio Fazioli for MIM Roma, 'Tolomeo' writing desk, wood, steel, Italy, after 1963 The Tolomeo desk has often been mistakenly attributed to Ico Parisi due to its striking resemblance to the Terni table-desk, designed by Parisi in 1958 for MIM Roma. However, the Tolomeo represents a reinterpretation of the Terni design. After 1963, Ennio Fazioli, in collaboration with MIM's technical studio, extensively reimagined Parisi's original version. Unlike the Terni desk's sharp-edged rectangular tabletop, the Tolomeo features a more dynamic design. Its top showcases a concave curve along the front edge and a subtle convex shape on the opposite side. The desk's legs consist of U-shaped elements with twin open arms that diverge, connected by a horizontal beam between the front and back legs. The lower sections extend diagonally downward and are finished with sleek steel caps. With its architectural design, this desk impresses through its sleek silhouette, carefully-designed openings, and structural elegance. MIM Roma (Mobili Italiani Moderni) was founded in 1958 by Ennio Fazioli, who was at that time just 28 years old. When the first showroom opened, the display was designed by Ico Parisi who worked for the manufacturer until 1960. At the time that MIM was founded, spirits were high: scientific and technological discoveries would catalyze growth and modernity. Fazioli believed that everybody deserved beautiful, modern design. MIM moved towards a certain lightness and rationalization that borrowed from Nordic and American aesthetics, yet with a true Italian elegance. The resulting collection from MIM is therefore a combination of 'refined linearity with a sober opulence: a typically Italian matching of simplicity with the exceptional'. Kindly note that the desk in good, used condition with signs of age and use. For further details, we encourage you to reach out to our team of design specialists.
