When they organized the first Mollino furniture auction in Venice in 1985, they never imagined the sale would trigger a massive international collectors  market for Mollino s pioneering works. The designer s sought-after objects would soon sell for millions. This volume presents a wealth of iconographic material vintage photos, drawings, sketches, and photomontages drawn from Mollino s archives at the Turin Politecnico and some previously unpublished documents and images.   The book includes a contribution by the architect Mario Cucinella, and a photographic portfolio by Uli Weber. It is not an exhaustive critical monograph, but instead bears witness with novelistic sweep. The Colombari sisters write about Mollino s creative mindset, his architecture and design, his photography, his lifelong passion for speed, his eroticism, and the overlap of his personal and professional life from a childhood in Turin through his death in 1973. No one could portray Mollino, the man and the artist, more convincingly than the two women who brought his legacy to light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55445594014070,"sku":"9788891843142","price":63.11,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_39247389.jpg?v=1767194739","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9788891843142-carlo-mollino-the-sensuality-of-form","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
