Dimensions (cm): Width - 40 Height - 53,5 Height with leather cord - 82 Depth - 4,5 Franco Campo and Carlo Graffi met as college students at the Politecnico di Torino. Both men studied engineering and architecture under Carlo Mollino, and after their graduation in 1950, they continued to collaborate with their professor on architecture and design. In Campo and Graffi’s earlier works, the influence of Mollino is evident with their use of supine curves and organic materials. During the 1950s, Graffi and Campo design customized interiors and furniture working with decorators, shops, and private clients. Later, their work is inspired by the city of Turin, and their furniture became more rigid and sculptural, emphasizing the joints and the construction of the forms. In 1956, Campo and Graffi opened their groundbreaking furniture atelier Home. In an effort to make good design available for all, they crafted furniture in teak as well as imported designs from Scandinavia. Home was a successful venture, with locations in both Genoa and Rome. Tragically, a fire destroyed the factory in 1964, ending both Home and the collaboration between Campo and Graffi. After they split, Graffi continued to work with Carlo Mollino and Campo continued to design furniture and interiors. Although their collaborative period was brief, Campo and Graffi’s democratic designs were influential in the field. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history.

The sound of the body. in some situations, some women remind some men of certain musical instruments. With Teatro Regio, Carlo Mollino about 1973 created an entire Opera House, the curved silhouette of a woman whose Grundriss looks like. On a photo taken at the presentation of the draft, he appeared with his co architects Carlo Graffi - Mollino holds an egg in his hand. The room, which accommodates spectators in 1600, is based on this form. He made no secret of the source of inspiration for the architecture of the entire building: it is the curvy silhouette of a young woman. The main theme is the color red. Something strange is the still authentic style of the boxes: on the expensive places you sit kerzengrade on dainty "Tulip chairs" by Eero Saarinen. Even when the material mix in the break foyer, Mollino was absolutely at the height of his time. He was a classical dignity formulas in white marble only meagerly metered along the stairs. Dominant, however, raw is concrete, which he formed to leaf-like prisms, to achieve the most advantageous ratio of material use and span is. Striking, however, is the reference to the past in the supposedly old arcade, behind the Foyer lies hidden. He also comes from Mollinos hand, is at first glance but more reminiscent of the 19th century. Inside has Mollino also wrapped him in red carpet, built red smash sofas and - of course - spread an egg-shaped marble area in the Centre. So, as if he had still a second stage in mind, on the each visitor in the rest Defilee his own performance in the scene managed to.

Carlo Mollino__nasce a Torino il 6 Maggio 1905, architetto, designer e fotografo, oltre che pilota automobilistico e aeronautico. Nel 1930, non ancora laureato, progettò la casa per vacanza a Forte dei Marmi e ricevette il premio "G. Pistono" per l'Architettura. Tra il 1933 e il 1948, mentre lavorava nello studio del padre, partecipò a numerosi concorsi. Vinse il primo premio al concorso per la sede della Federazione agricoltori di Cuneo, il primo premio al concorso per la Casa del Fascio di Voghera e, in collaborazione con lo scultore Umberto Mastroianni, il primo premio al concorso per il Monumento ai Caduti per la Libertà di Torino (noto anche come Monumento al Partigiano), che venne collocato nel Campo della Gloria del cimitero Generale di Torino. Tra il 1936 e il 1939 realizzò, in collaborazione con l'ingegner Vittorio Baudi di Selve, l'edificio della Società Ippica Torinese, considerato il suo capolavoro, costruito a Torino in corso Dante e demolito nel 1960. Era un'opera che rompeva con il passato e che prendeva le distanze dall'architettura di regime, rifiutando i dettami del razionalismo e ispirandosi ad Alvar Aalto ed Erich Mendelsohn. Innamorato della montagna, progettò anche alcuni edifici montani, tra i quali la casa del Sole a Cervinia, la stazione di arrivo della funivia del Furggen e la Slittovia del lago Nero presso Sauze d'Oulx. Quest'ultimo chalet, realizzato fra il 1946 e il 1947, presenta, verso monte, una grande terrazza che emerge con vigore dal volume principale, coniugando la modernità delle forme e delle tecniche costruttive con la tradizionalità dei materiali utilizzati. Nel 1952 progettò a Torino l'Auditorium della Rai in via Rossini, oggetto di un controverso restauro eseguito nel 2006, che ne ha modificato radicalmente la struttura originaria. Nella prima metà degli anni '60 diresse il gruppo di professionisti incaricati di progettare il quartiere INA- Casa in corso Sebastopoli a Torino e ricevette il secondo premio al concorso per il Palazzo del Lavoro di Torino, vinto da Pier Luigi Nervi nonostante il bando di concorso richiedesse un edificio con un unico volume senza colonne nella parte centrale. Nel 1964 partecipò al concorso per la Camera di Commercio di Torino, dove si classificò primo, e al concorso per il Teatro Comunale di Cagliari, dove fu terzo. Negli ultimi anni della sua carriera, dal 1965 al 1973, progettò e costruì i due edifici che lo hanno reso celebre: il palazzo della Camera di Commercio in via Carlo Alberto e il nuovo teatro Regio (ricostruito dopo l'incendio del 1936), inaugurato nel 1973. Poco prima della morte (Torino, 27 Agosto 1973) terminò i progetti per gli uffici AEM a Torino e partecipò ai concorsi per il Centro direzionale FIAT a Candiolo e per il Club Mediterranèe a Sestrière.
