Rare Italian Sofa - MIM ROMA - Ico Parisi
description
Rare sofa produced by MIM Roma (Mobili Italiana Moderne) in Italy. MiM was founded in 1958 by Ennio Faziola .The idea was to do the whole production cycle of home and office furniture, from design to production and sales.Here, craftsmanship and new materials combined with new techniques had to blend into today's ‘modern’ times. Also, the furniture could be used for both home and office.
At the beginning one of the leading designers was Ico Parisi. He designed several pieces for MIM Roma from 1958 until 1960, including this sofa.
This is the first production, the metal base lacquered in dark grey (later production chromed) and detailed parts are made in solid aluminium. The sofa is restored by Troon Works with high quality semi aniline leather. The foam is replaced for outstanding comfort combined with excellent durability. The straps has been replaced as well, a full restoration has been done.
The metal and aluminium show patina and signs of use acquired over the years.
