Early Mid-Century Modern “Parioli” Model Rosewood and Leather Office Chair by Ennio Fazioli for MIM Roma, 1960s (First Generation model – Rare 4-Spoke Base)

An exceptional, early-production Italian mid-century modern swivel office chair from the celebrated “Parioli” series, designed by Ennio Fazioli (founder of the brand) and manufactured by MIM Roma (Mobili Italiani Moderni) in the early 1960s (item labeled and official documents from MIM company).

This highly desirable early edition features an imposing, beautifully figured thermoformed Brazilian rosewood (Palissandro) plywood shell paired with its original black bovine leather upholstery. It stands on the rare, early-production 4-spoke cast metal base, making it a prime model of Italian rationalist industrial design.

Very good Vintage Condition with Authentic Patina. The item has been cautiously restored by our team. This piece is in very good structural condition. The original bovine leather displays only minor, superficial signs of time. The premium rosewood shell retains its original finish with no missing veneer or deep scratches. The cast aluminum base exhibits a natural, unpolished vintage oxidation (bloom) consistent with its 60-year history (can be polished upon request). The original hood casters rotate freely. The chair has been gently cleaned and preserved in its full integrity, ready for professional use.
