Mollino designed the Lutrario Hall in an arabesque style. Every component from the interior reflected this theme, from the elaborate mosaic tiled floors to the draperies. The curves of the seat and armrests in these examples echo the sinewy architectural elements of the space. Signed with manufacturer's labels.
