[en.] Today, Italian architect and designer Carlo Mollino (1905-73) is known chiefly for his furniture designs. He is famous also for his erotic polaroid photography of the 1960s, which has been subject of many exhibitions and has lost nothing of its great appeal to the fashion world today. Much less attention has so far been given to Mollino's architecture, and a comprehensive critical study of his work in this field has been lacking. Yet his built work, although relatively small, constitutes a seminal contribution to modernism that is uniquely marked by a strong relationship with Surrealism. Based on years of research and drawing on rich archival material as well as on Mollino's own writings, this new book is the overdue tribute to an extraordinary personality in 20th-century architecture. It features an exemplary selection of his key designs, both built and unrealised, lavishly illustrated with images and reproductions of previously unpublished plans, drawings, and documents. Rounded out with scholarly essays by expert authors, this is a long-awaited addition to the library of architecture lovers, professionals, and scholars.

[.it] Carlo Mollino fu grande architetto, designer e arredatore, ma anche fotografo, scenografo, sciatore professionista, pilota automobilistico e aviatore acrobatico, e ancora influente docente universitario e scrittore di rango. Non abbandonò mai il suo tempo, cercando di proiettarsi nel futuro che incombeva con uno sguardo sul passato. Forse troppo in anticipo sui tempi, visse la sua architettura tra i contrasti del presente e le conferme trascorse. Il libro indaga due storie, coincidenti e trasversali: quella dell'uomo che crede e tenta di fare tutto e quella dell'architetto che, navigando nel passato, si proietta nel domani.

OPAC Millennium 

Photographer, designer, architect and author on topics ranging from winter sports to the history of photography, Carlo Mollino (1905-1973) accomplished himself in a dizzying array of fields. The diversity and scale of his output often makes it seem somewhat daunting, but this volume coheres Mollino's prolificness into an appetizing and eminently approachable whole, by examining it across five inventively themed chapters: "Choreography," "Montage," "Publications," "Display" and "Appropriations." "Choreography" looks at Mollino's love of motion in his customizations of airplanes and racing cars and his designs for the Lutrario dance hall in Turin. The "Montage" chapter examines Mollino's architectural photomontages and other uses of photography; "Publications" reproduces a wealth of Mollino first editions, magazine spreads and works on paper; "Display" reveals the influence of Surrealism on Mollino's interior displays, and also includes his erotic Polaroids; and "Appropriation" looks at his photographs of interior décor.
