Ico Parisi for MIM, Italian Mid-Century Modern Executive Desk, 1950s

An example of Ico Parisi’s visionary approach to modernist design, this 1950s vintage executive desk for MIM (Mobili Italiani Moderni) exemplifies the balance between sculptural form and technique.

The wooden top is elegantly contoured with beveled edges emphasizing its architectural silhouette. This gives a beautiful contrast between the organic warmth of the wood and the polished aluminum corner joints with the slender black steel legs. A structural crossbar adds both stability and a graphic element.

Why we love this piece: It’s a statement of pure Italian modernism—bold yet understated, functional yet undeniably artistic. The play of materials, is a testament to Parisi’s mastery.
