Colorful capitalism (TASCHEN's 25th anniversary special edition) As McCarthyism swept across the United States and capitalism was king, white America enjoyed a feeling of pride and security that was reflected in advertising.

The Furniture of Carlo Mollino The only monograph on the furniture and interior design of Carlo Mollino.Fulvio Ferrari and Napoleone Ferrari The only monograph on the furniture and interior design of Carlo Mollino, one of the most original Italian architects of the 20th century Features an amazing range of work, from his sculptural pieces of furniture to his famously elaborate interiors Extensively illustrated with over 400 sketches, drawings and archival photographs, many never published before Written by Fulvio Ferrari and Napoleone Ferrari, curators of Museo Casa Mollino, Turin, and experts in Mollino's work An indispensable tool for collectors of Mollino's furniture.Carlo Mollino (1905-73), the son of a prominent engineer of the city of Turin, graduated with honours from Turin's Royal School of Architecture. He joined his father's firm in 1931, only to pursue an independent and highly original career in design and architecture seven years later.
