Carlo Mollino: Armchair for the Minola House:
This chair and the other furninshings designated for the Minola House in Turin were produced at the height of the war. Skilled craftsmanship compensated for the dearth of quality materials. Ebonised wood frame with velvet-covered upholstery.
To me this chair looks like a praying mantis. It looks like it may be comfortable but, I am not feeling the velvet material it is upholstered in. I also think that the head piece on the chair looks uninviting and I feel like I would be closterphobic in it.
