Parisi was known for his refined craftsmanship, clean lines and sophisticated simplicity. The results of his bold experiments with different materials, including wood, metal, and glass are visible in this striking yet functional piece. Due to the deatils and very resemble carpentry, we believe he was behind the design of this sofisticated piece. The front of the bar cabinet, composed of two independent parts decorated with oak and teak veneers, creates an imaginative, geometric puzzle.thanks to the functional support integrated into the cabinet’s front, a drop-down part effortlessly transforms into a handy tabletop for serving cocktails and drinks. Elegance on the outside, coupled with the unexpected richness of colors and shapes inside the cabinet, gives the impression of unwrapping a box of chocolates. The red laminate coating not only protects the wood from damage but also makes it easy to clean. The bright, yellow color and geometric pattern of the laminate inside the cabinet, combined with mirror and black glass at the bottom, shows the italian spirit of the mid-century era.  In addition to the bar cabinet, the wall unit offers ample display space for other items such as books and decorative objects.
