Edgar Vallora is an architect from Turin who has accomplished numerous achievements, among the most recent the boutique theatre of men’s tailoring called Caruso in Milan in via Gesù, but he is above all a gentleman from another time, elegant and polite, collector of scientific wonders, which are neatly kept in glass cases in his ateliers in Milan and Turin. Aesthete, curious of every discipline, he collects traces of different ages, which he reassembles, with great freedom, in his areas of work and thought, where he devotes himself to the development of locations, precious volumes and unusual objects. His creations are subtle provocations aimed at gourmets. His stage name, Flemish in inspiration, is Pieter von Balthasar and, using this pseudonym, he lives in his Wunderkammer, where he collects leaves, shells, minerals and primordial insects along with quirky items
