Model 751 Coffee Table by Ico and Luisa Parisi for Figli di Amedeo Cassina, Italy 1962 with original Cassina productions sticker.
Designed in 1962 by Ico Parisi for Figli di Amedeo Cassina, this coffee table is built from wooden components of identical cross-section, joined with half-wood joints into a frame of four paired legs. The legs sit slightly raised to cradle the glass top securely, while two legs set inward from the tabletop's edge give the design an unusual asymmetry. The clear glass surface puts this geometric structure on full display.

About the designers
Domenico Parisi (1916–1996) was a pioneering figure in postwar Italian design, celebrated for graceful, curved, and elegantly simplified forms. Italian design took shape within elite private circles — where Parisi crossed paths with figures like Gio Ponti and Fausto Melotti. His meeting with Luisa Aiani after the war proved transformative: the two married and worked together for decades, and much of Parisi's most celebrated output, including this table, is the product of their shared design practice. Collaborations with MIM Roma (1958) and Stildomus (1959) further cemented his lasting influence on Italian design.
