fucking genius: carlo mollino's chairs

Don't even get me started on

Carlo Mollino.

The man did it all,

and usually like no one else,

then, and even now.

True genius.

I'm not going to go into his accomplishments,

quirks, kinks, and idiosyncrasies,

I'll leave that up to your explorations.

Way more fun for the uninitiated that way.

I realized that there really weren't many shots of

his chair designs online, and

that's what prompted this post.

All images are from the 

FANTASTIC

book

"The Furniture of Carlo Mollino"

by Fulvio Ferrari and his son

Napoleone Ferrari.
