Don't even get me started onCarlo Mollino.The man did it all,and usually like no one else,then, and even now.True genius.I'm not going to go into his accomplishments,quirks, kinks, and idiosyncrasies,I'll leave that up to your explorations.Way more fun for the uninitiated that way.I realized that there really weren't many shots ofhis chair designs online, andthat's what prompted this post.All images are from the FANTASTICbook"The Furniture of Carlo Mollino"by Fulvio Ferrari and his sonNapoleone Ferrari.Carlo MollinoDevalle HouseUnique piece1941Carlo MollinoDevalle House2 pieces1940Carlo MollinoA & C Minola House1970sYou will see a lot of this,beautiful women in Mr. Mollino's chairs.This is a fashion shot from the 70s,not taken by Carlo, he was a Polaroid Man...for his work look here.Carlo MollinoF & G Minola HouseUnique piece1945The chair is hard to see in the lower left corner,but I had to include this shot of Carlos's shadow.This photo says a lot about him.Carlo MollinoA & C Minola House8 pieces1945Carlo MollinoAlbonico House Pieces unknown1944Carlo MollinoAlbonico HouseVersion 2 and detail Pieces unknown1944Carlo MollinoF & G Minola House8 pieces1945Carlo MollinoCollona House6 pieces1954Carlo MollinoPieces unknownc.1952Carlo MollinoF & G Minola House2 pieces1946Carlo MollinoA & C Minola House2 pieces1940Carlo MollinoDevalle House2 pieces1940Carlo MollinoAcotto HouseUnique piece1952Carlo MollinoF & G Minola House4 pieces1947Carlo MollinoA & C Minola House2 pieces1946Carlo MollinoOrengo House2 pieces1949Carlo MollinoUnique piece1947Come on!!!Carlo MollinoReale Mutua AssicurazioniAt least 4 pieces1948Carlo MollinoGalleria Vigna NuovaUnique piece1948Carlo MollinoGalleria Vigna NuovaUnique piece1948Carlo MollinoRivetti House8 pieces1949Carlo MollinoProvera House8 pieces1955Carlo MollinoFrom the exhibition"Italy at Work"4 pieces1950Carlo MollinoOrengo HouseUnique piece1949Carlo MollinoL & L Licitra Ponti House(Gio Ponti's daughter, these chairs were a wedding gift)6 pieces1950(I've sat in one of these!)
