For Carlo Mollino, architecture is never simply a place to live, but a stage of existence, where shapes and volumes tell a complex story and spatial tensions suggest depth and movement through the interplay of solid and void. And Casa, a performative space with an almost cinematic attention to scenography, is a tribute to Carlo Mollino: here, the imagination and legacy of the Turin genius come to life in intimate, reflective, and shared forms.

The space becomes a stage, light marks the passage of time, and movement unfolds naturally throughout. Photographs, furnishings, sculptures – each object engages in dialogue with the architecture as a silent actor, and every detail becomes part of a larger mise-en-scène. A theatre of memory, where each room is an act and every visit an experience to be lived.
Recently published, the book Carlo Mollino. Architect, Designer, Photographer (Rizzoli), by Paola and Rossella Colombari, celebrates the multifaceted genius of one of the most original talents of twentieth-century Italy.
