Ico Parisi Italian Executive Desk Chair, Figured Rosewood Sage Green Mohair Velvet for MIM, Italy, 1960s

A striking and highly collectible example of Italian mid-century design, this executive desk chair attributed to Ico Parisi for MIM, Italy, 1960s, is a masterclass in elegance, proportion, and material contrast. Sculptural yet refined, it perfectly captures the forward-thinking design language that defined Italian furniture of the period. The frame is crafted from beautifully figured rosewood, displaying deep tonal variation and a rich, expressive grain that gives the piece real visual depth. The silhouette is unmistakably Parisi—light in appearance yet structurally confident, with flowing lines and a sense of movement from every angle.

Newly upholstered in a luxurious sage green mohair velvet from Italian company Dedar, the seat and backrest introduce a soft, tactile contrast to the boldness of the rosewood. The fabric enhances the chair’s overall presence, adding warmth and a contemporary edge while remaining sympathetic to its mid-century origins.

** We have two of these available upholstered in the same material. We also have four more of these chairs, not yet upholstered, which you could pick a fabric or color for. **

🧡 Why It Stands Out

This is not just a desk chair—it’s a statement piece. The combination of sculptural Italian design, richly figured rosewood, and luxurious mohair velvet makes it both functional and collectible. A rare opportunity to own a piece that effortlessly bridges craftsmanship, comfort, and timeless design.
