Black Marquina Marble Console with Skipper Label by Angelo Mangiarotti
-
Description
Designed by Angelo Mangiarotti for Skipper from the 'Eros' series, iconic black or Nero Marquina marble console table with top fitted on two conical bases, Italy, 1971. This elegant console table has beautiful subtle veining throughout the stark black marble with organic soft curves throughout. This modernist console is the larger rectangular model and is from the original 1971 production for Skipper. Original Skipper label affixed to the underside.
Given Mangiarotti's research on furniture without joints, this console table was an example of the result of a gravity interlocking design in which the console top because of its weight stably fits into the truncated conical legs. The word 'Eros' refers to the male-female coupling of this interlocking solution. It is truly an ingenious and elegant design. -
