Made from dark-stained solid rosewood with metal accents, its geometric structure exemplifies Parisi’s minimalist yet functional approach to design. The detachable, colored bottom tray catches water from wet umbrellas, combining practicality with aesthetic elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParisi’s design philosophy often explored the relationship between form and function, and the \"Temide\" stand reflects this through its clean lines and thoughtful craftsmanship. The stand is listed in literature such as R. Lietti’s Ico Parisi Design Catalogo Ragionato 1936-1960 (Silvana Editoriale, 2017), emphasizing its significance in Parisi's design repertoire​.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo of these umbrella stands available, price is per item. The other one is made out of solid and patinated walnut, very nice wood and very nice as a pair too. Good for pairing and geometry and surprising in terms of type of wood. Totally different colours. Would complement one another very well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIco Parisi was born in Palermo in 1916. He graduated in construction and served his apprenticeship in the studio of Giuseppe Terragni. In 1937 he made a photographic study of the Casa del Fascio for the magazine Quadrante, which marked the whole of Parisi's research into \"meditating on the legacies and contradictions of the enormous store of ideas and forms constituted by the experience of the masters\".[1]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis activity, marked by continuous experimentation, consists in an incessant research in the fields of architecture, art and design. Between 1948 and 1950 he devoted himself to the study of furniture elements. In the field of design, the crucial encounters with Munari and Fontana (1951), and Melotti profoundly marked his experience. In 1948 he founded, with his wife Luisa Aiani, planner and designer, the studio La ruota which ceased its activity in 1995.[1]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1954 he won the Gold Medal at the Milan Triennial X with the work Padiglione soggiorno, with Silvio Longhi and Luigi Antonietti. In 1957 he presented the work Casa per vacanze at the exhibition Colori e forme della casa d'oggi, the result of a collaboration with Manlio Rho, Francesco Somaini and Gian Paolo Allevi.[1] He died in Como in 1996.[1]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 25 cm\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 50 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zeger van Olden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58234790084995,"sku":"f_41608772","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/8041\/4083\/files\/f_41608772_1727353396668_bg_processed.jpg?v=1781284183","url":"https:\/\/zegervanolden.com\/products\/ico-parisi-temide-umbrella-stand-stildomus-wood-metal-italy-1960-f-41608772","provider":"Zeger van Olden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
