A striking embodiment of mid-century Italian design, this umbrella stand, Model 1701, was masterfully created by the renowned architect and designer Ico Parisi for Stildomus in 1959. Crafted with precision, the piece exemplifies Parisi’s talent for harmonizing organic and industrial materials into an object of functional beauty.  

Design

This sculptural piece features a bold yet balanced interplay of natural wood and polished aluminum, forming a hexagonal / cylindrical structure with rhythmic, wave-like metal elements. The wooden framework's warm tones contrast elegantly with the cool metallic sheen, showcasing a timeless aesthetic rooted in modernist principles. Every detail, from the perfectly joined wood panels to the curves of the metal strips, reflects Stildomus's commitment to superior craftsmanship and innovative design. For collectors of vintage design and connoisseurs of mid-century modernism, this umbrella stand is a rare opportunity to own a piece of authentic Italian craftsmanship from one of the era's most influential visionaries.  

Condition

The umbrella stand is in good vintage condition with some scratches on the metal.
