One of our favorite Italian Modern designers is Ico Parisi. We browse through books of his design works if we want to acquire some ideas for retro and vintage furniture. His style of Mid-Century Modern art is distinctly Italian. He often made furniture of softwoods, frequently bent or boomerang-shaped. His creations are stylish and refined, and they look wonderful in any room. It is difficult to imagine that his works are 60–70 years old!
