Carlo Mollino: Polaroids

Updated Oct 2, 2006

1st to recommend

Description

Oh, Carlo. You were an architect, a fabulous furniture designer, race car enthusiast & who knew - a master of the polaroid camera. You chose to keep your pics of beautiful naked prostitutes all to yourself which made us covet them even more when they were discovered. You know what you do to us! This book is pricey but its safe to say no one else you know will have it & everyone will want it! So vintage & so cool.

Modern silhouettes are genius. Karl Johnson is a young, 3rd generation cut paper artist who has been commissioned by some of the chicest publications & events - with good reason - he's extremely talented. The 2nd best part? His hand-cut, custom portraits start at just $25. Everyone should have original artwork in their home. Now there's no excuse not to! I'll be commissioning portraits of friends, kids & pets this year for Christmas gifts...

when you see photos of glamourous homes in glossy shelter magazines do you scope out what the homeowner has on their bookshelves? then this is your list. every volume i choose must have at least 2 of these qualities - engrossing content, beautiful spine or dust jacket, interest of the client, or irony. i always make sure to sneak in a few surprises too, that way you can find out which clients actually read their books. these picks plus great vintage volumes & you're camera ready!
