About Carlo Mollino
Carlo Mollino (1905–1973) was one of Italy's most singular and visionary designers — an architect, photographer, racing car driver, and aeronautical enthusiast whose furniture defied easy categorization. His work blended organic surrealism with structural ingenuity, and pieces from his hand are held in the permanent collections of major museums worldwide.
