carlo mollino polaroids


I love Carlo Mollino.
He would 
sleep 
for months,
and then work 
maniacally 
for a year
before repeating the process over
again.
He was a bit nutz,
but a genius.

1905-1973
I'm not going to 
get into
the politics
of these photos,
that's up to you,
but I find them beautiful
and
intriguing,
 they give us a tiny glimpse inside the 
private
mind
of the architect and designer
of some of the greatest furniture 
of the 20th century,
and
certainly the most expensive!
These were all taken
starting in 1960,
(ending with his death in 1973).
