Career
Born in Munich in 1903, he later moved to New York in 1932, starting his first company in 1939. He had begun by designing for Manhattan style-setter Rena Rosenthal. Parzinger"s last showroom, on East 57th Street, was closed not long after his death in 1981.
His focus turned to Expressionist painting during the final 15 years of his life, no longer working on designing furniture.
Pat Palumbo, the owner of the gallery that sold Parzinger"s pieces, worked with Cameron after Parzinger"s death on reproductions of his work based on his original working sketches.
