Ico (Domenico) Parisi (1916–1996) was an Italian architect, designer, and curator who fused Rationalist discipline with post-war experimentation. Born in Palermo and raised in Como, he worked with Giuseppe Terragni and documented modernism through photography. From the late 1940s he pursued an integrated practice—architecture, interiors, furniture, exhibitions—often with his wife, Luisa Aiani Parisi. Collaborations with Cassina and Brianza workshops yielded human-scaled forms in wood, metal, and glass, balancing craft and industry. Renowned for “total environments,” he orchestrated proportion, color, and use with precision. In the mid-1950s he animated Como’s scene via La Ruota gallery, linking design and contemporary art. Parisi remains central to Italy’s post-1945 design canon.
