Carlo Mollino’s private Polaroids - NSFW (NOT SAFE FOR WORK)
Carlo Mollino (1905-1973) was an architect, designer, photographer
and writer, not to mention a race-car driver and a pilot. His buildings
include the Royal Theatre in Turin, and his furniture, like his
photography, is ever more valuable. In 2005, a Mollino table sold for
$3.8 million, setting a world record for twentieth-century decorative
art.
Upon his death, it was discovered that he had a vast, stunning body of work in Polaroids spanning 1962-1973.
DesignBoom tells us that these were, “the private photographic work he kept which included over 1,000 polaroids portraying beauties of Turin’s nightlife in the nude in mise-en-scène settings. These photographs were part of the preparation of his “house for the warrior’s rest,” known as Casa Mollino, a villa in Turin, situated along the River Po.”
Mollino, said to be one of Italy’s most influential mid-20th century designers, wanted to model his death on those of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, whose souls were taken by boat to a sumptuous city, where they enjoyed opulent afterlives. Casa Mollino was a house he created for his afterlife, “inspired by the project of the construction of the Egyptian pyramid which is the house for the perpetuity of the pharaohs.”
