Carlo Mollino

Carlo Mollino (1905, 1973) was an Italian architect, designer, photographer, and artist whose work defied easy categorization, blending Surrealism, organic modernism, and eroticism into a singular visionary practice. His furniture designs, characterized by sensuous biomorphic forms and technical innovation, are among the most coveted and expensive in the design world. Equally significant were his obsessive Polaroid photographs of staged female figures, discovered posthumously, which cemented his status as a multidisciplinary creative genius.
