Carrara Marble Side Table from 'Eros' Series by Angelo Mangiarotti

Creator: Angelo Mangiarotti - Skipper
Offered by: soyun k.

Description
Designed by Angelo Mangiarotti for Skipper from the Eros series, Carrara marble side table with top fitted on conical base. This elegantly organic table has beautiful subtle veining throughout. Original Skipper label on underside. As the label attests, this Mangiarotti Carrara marble table is from the more rare original 1971 production for Skipper and not 2000 production which has no label.

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.
