Model of a teardrop automobile designed by Norman Bel Geddes… So awesome in that Metropolis kinda way….
love the disregard for something that now is nearly priceless….
© Carlo Mollino, 1950s, Turin / Italy
In the early 1950s, the genius designer from Turin introduced complications into his furniture, resulting in incredible, fantasy-inspired pieces.
Carlo Mollino was also an outrageous photographer. Each shoot was a sort of ceremony, he incessantly controlled every aspect of these remarkable images - although the negative, that is born perfect, for him does not exist. Mollino made largely use of retouching techniques in order to create a certain fantasy he had already constructed in his mind’s eye.
“Everything is allowed, imagination is always saved.” wrote Carlo Mollino.
