This review is from: The Furniture of Carlo Mollino (Monographs) (Paperback)

Carlo Mollino was a revolutionary italian architect and designer.

In this book you can discover his furniture work's. Most of them are one-off pieces designed specifically for the houses he also designed. Some of the pieces presented are among the most expensive in the 20th century design auctions and are truly amazing.

The book is vey well designed, with excellent photographs and Mollino's drawings, sketches and notes. The text is very good presenting an introductory essay by one of the author's.

A simply Superb book and a real bargain considering the quality.
