Scenic presence

The creative flair of Ico Parisi in a playful invention of mimicry

PRODUCTION YEAR

2024

Palpebra is a playful furniture complement that expresses the creative genius of Maestro Ico Parisi. Thanks to painstaking historically accurate research and development conducted in collaboration with the Ico Parisi Design Archives, Palpebra was engineered to mimic the movement of the human eye. The upper cover of the lamp opens and closes by means of a sophisticated miniaturized system of rotation that also allows the angle of light emission to be adjusted. Cassina employed a capacitive sensor capable of adjusting light intensity in two ways: by pressing a finger down for gradual results, or tapping it to cycle through brightness levels from 0 - 100 - 50 - 0. A dramatic object, with a bold personality, Palpebra is available in various finishes.

Ico Parisi

I MAESTRI

Domenico Parisi, nicknamed Ico, was born in Palermo on the 23rd of September 1916 to Sicilian parents who were living in the Piedmont region. In 1925 the Parisi family moved to Como where Ico earned his diploma as a building inspector in 1936 and completed an apprenticeship at Studio Terragni. The studio gave him the opportunity to get to know and interact with prominent figures of Como's architecture and art world such as Cattaneo, Lingeri, Radice, Rho, Persico and Sartoris.
