The Furniture of Carlo Mollino

Words from the publisher

Carlo Mollino (1905-73), the son of a prominent engineer of the city of Turin, graduated with honours from the Royal School of Architecture. He joined his father's firm in 1931, only to pursue an independent and highly original career in design and architecture seven years later.

From the start, both his interests and personality set him apart from his contemporaries. Influenced by the Second Futurism and Surrealist avant-gardes, he was active in an impressive number of fields, including aeronautics, automobile design, art, photography, set design, town planning, furniture, interior decoration and architecture. Highlights from his architectural output include the headquarters of the Societa Ippica Torinese (1935-9), the Faculty of Architecture where he lectured from 1952 to 1970, and the Teatro Regio Torinese (1966), all in Turin.
