A beautifully composed example of Italian mid-century design, this office chair by Ico Parisi for MIM Roma captures the balance of elegance and functionality that defines the period. Designed and produced in Rome circa 1970, it showcases Parisi’s signature sculptural sensibility, with a gently curved rosewood shell that wraps seamlessly around the form.

The chair has been professionally restored to a superb standard, with the rosewood shell carefully refinished to highlight its rich tone and natural depth. It has been newly upholstered in a soft velvet, adding warmth and contrast while enhancing overall comfort. The combination of materials—wood, metal, and textile—feels considered and refined, giving the piece a strong visual presence without overwhelming a space.

The polished metal swivel base has also been restored and presents beautifully, offering both stability and full functionality. The chair adjusts and moves with ease, making it not only a design piece but a practical one for everyday use. The original MIM Roma maker’s label remains present, affirming its authenticity and provenance.

This is a piece that works effortlessly in a variety of interiors—ideal for a home office, study, or as a distinctive desk chair within a larger design scheme. Equally, it would sit comfortably in a commercial or creative workspace where strong design is appreciated.

A refined and characterful piece that brings both form and function into perfect alignment.
