About the Author
Fulvio Ferrari has been studying the work and life of Carlo Mollino since the early 1980s, having organized the first exhibition of his work in 1985 and co-founded the Museo Casa Mollino in Turin in 1999. He also curated 'Italian Design 1951-73' in 1984 in Munich and has published several books on the work of Mollino, the furniture of Gabetti & Isola and the ceramics of Ettore Sottsass, amongst others. Napoleone Ferrari co-founded the Museo Casa Mollino in Turin. He is co-author of two books on Mollino's photography and of Luce, a book on Italian lighting design of the late 1960s.

Format:Hardcover
If you're fascinated by the beautiful furniture produced by Mollino, and have little or no interest in his 'erotic photography', his architecture, or his supposed involvement with the occult, then this is for you.
It is a big book containing plenty of photographs of his work, mostly in colour (unless originally photographed in b + w) along with lots of his drawings too. At the beginning there is a large essay on him and his life which, although i have only just begun reading it, seems interesting and well written. The high quality of layout and arrangement displayed on the front cover continues throughout the whole volume, making it a pleasure to flip through.

All in all a fantastic book.
Buy it.

Format: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 very 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.
If you are interested in the work of Carlo Mollino you can also buy:
Carlo Mollino: Designer and Photographer (Macro Exhibition Catalogue)
or
Carlo Mollino: Architecture as Autobiography
But the book being reviewed is the BEST on Mollino works (although only in the furniture section).
