There’s a good chance that your college design professors never introduced you to the work of Carlo Mollino (1905 – 1973). Of the 7 architecture degrees here in our office – not one of us ever heard of the guy until recently. Maybe our professors didn’t want to create any more illusion around the profession of architecture than already exists (with Mollino’s playboy, jet-set lifestyle and all). Maybe it’s that architecture was only one of many hobbies for Mollino; who’s interests included car racing, flying airplanes and skiing. Or maybe it was that, later in life, he developed an affinity for photographing street hookers in his hometown of Turin. Tough to say, but here’s your primer on Mollino. For any of you that did happen to study him – we’d love to know how the guy was portrayed in academics.

Many times we have found ourselves in a restaurant, café, or even a public library without a secure place to hang our jackets or hand bags. We either uncomfortably hang our belongings on a public coat rack, or across the back of our chair for the world to see. With “Chair Wardrobe”, we can confidently place our belongings in a secure location and keep them within reach. The “Chair Wardrobe” is a design concept by Erohina Yulia that allows for the outside of the chair to appear as a normal chair, but the secret is the inside storage or wardrobe for your special items. The design is made of two different colored plastics signifying the double features of the chair. The choice to use different wood or textiles is also available.
