Ico Parisi (1916-1996) was an Italian architect and designer who significantly shaped post-war Italian modernism. He began his career after studying architecture in Como, Italy. Parisi is remembered for his innovative integration of architecture and furniture design. His furniture, including the Olimpino Table (1955), employs architectural principles with precise lines, industrial and natural materials, and refined proportions. Parisi’s architectural works include Casa Fraccaroli and Chiesa di Santa Maria Annunciata, which embody his “La Sintesi delle Arti” approach. They integrate architecture, interior design, and custom furniture into cohesive, harmonious environments. His designs continue to influence Italian and global aesthetics today.
