Dominico "Ico" Parisi (1916-1996) was born in Palermo, Italy. He called himself a "Renaissance artist," not wanting to be known only as an architect. He was accomplished as an industrial designer, painter, photographer and installation artist as well.

In 1947 Parisi and his wife Luisa started La Ruota, a studio which specialized in interior design, where they created furniture for companies such as Cassina, M.I.M., Altamira, Longhi, Cappellina and Stildomus. They also designed ceramics, glass and jewelry.
