Urio Mid-Century Modular Wall System by Ico and Luisa Parisi (1960s)

Modular Wall System Urio, designed by Ico and Luisa Parisi for MiM Roma in 1957, is an iconic example of Italian 1960s design. This vintage wall-mounted shelving unit features two modules, each complete with original back panels—optional elements at the time of production and now extremely rare to find. The wall system is highly versatile and can be configured in various ways, either with or without back panels, to reveal the stylish metal support structures if desired. Each shelving element can be freely positioned, making it easy to customize both the layout and functionality according to your space and needs. A standout feature of this mid-century modern bookcase is its distinctive wood finish: the designers purposefully alternated light and dark woods, creating a sophisticated visual contrast. On the darker sections, the sides are light, offering an elegant connection between the different wood tones. This entire Urio wall system has been fully restored and polished, and it is in excellent condition—ready to enhance contemporary interiors, professional offices, or historical design collections. Dimensions: Height 220 cm, Width 197 cm, Depth 46 cm. Each module is approximately 1 meter wide.
