*The 1952 Casa Zucchi commission allowed the architect duo Ico & Luis Parisi free reign in not only designing the house but all of its contents. That work was so prominent as to be recorded in no fewer than eight publications during that time. Each architect's distinct touch is revealed in the architecture, interior design and furniture of the villa which is often mentioned as one of their finest works.
Ico, who was once an apprentice to Giuseppe Terragni, and Luisa, a student and friend of Gio Ponti, processed these influences to turn the home into a surprising synthesis, echoing Terragni's rationalism and Ponti's expressionism. The delicate vanity and its attendant side chair in matching carved Italian walnut, both exude a sense of dignity with a light touch. These same qualities are present in other outstanding pieces throughout the villa. *Text by Brian Kish.
