Travertine Side Tables by Angelo Mangiarotti, Italy, 1970s

Creator: Angelo Mangiarotti
Offered by: Goldwood by Boris

Description
Travertine side table, crafted in Italy during the 1970s by Angelo Mangiarotti for Skipper. Part of the Eros series, the table's graceful form and subtle veining, characteristic of fine travertine, converge to create an elegantly harmonious aesthetic.

Angelo Mangiarotti (26 February 1921–2 July 2012) was an Italian architect and industrial designer with a reputation built on "never forgetting the real needs of users". He mainly focused on the industrial process for buildings and design production. The main concept in Mangiarotti's architecture and design was established through the correct use of matter and technique.
Given Mangiarotti's research on furniture without joints, this side table is an example of the result of a gravity interlocking design in which the side tabletop because of its weight stably fits into the truncated conical base. The word 'Eros' refers to the male-female coupling of this interlocking solution. It is truly an ingenious and elegant design.
