Carlo Mollino, a versatile personality from Turin born on May 6, 1905, is remembered as an established architect, engineer, designer, downhill skier, race-car driver, stunt pilot and photographer. His thrill-seeking approach to life, architecture, and design made him one of the most innovative and entirely original artists of the 20th Century. He adopted an experimental and complex design style, incorporating both abstract and surrealist elements at the same time.
