The chairs offered here are a version with padded backrest of this model. The frames are made of rosewood. Reupholstered in a green velvet fabric. The chairs partly show thin crackings, these do not have any effect on the stability. We have another set of 6 chairs of this model but in a different wood available. Ico Parisi was an Italian architect and designer and was one of the most important style creators of Italian furniture design in the 1950s. Born Domenico Parisi in 1916 in Palermo, Italy, he was involved in building construction and architecture in Como during his early adulthood. By the 1940s, Parisi took up filmmaking and began designing furniture in 1945, for which he would become most renowned. His designs are characterized by their Italian mid-century Modern aesthetic, constructed using soft woods often cut into boomerang-like shapes, augmented by metal slats and boldly colored upholstery. His most prolific period was the two decades that preceded 1965, when he married and formed a design team with his wife, Luisa Aiani, in 1948.
