The Godlike (& kinky) Genius of Carlo Mollino



There is a new book that just came out, and in our store, that is fantastic. It's called "Carlo Mollino: arabesques.



Mollino was an interior designer, speed car racer, skier, architect, industrial designer, furniture maker, dandy,






...And a lover of women. He took numerous photographs of various 'professional' girls towards the end of his life. Some of the images were hand-painted.







So "arabesques" covers his entire career. For sure a gentleman I would want over the house for dinner.
