Travertine Side Tables by Angelo Mangiarotti, Italy, 1970s

Travertine side table, crafted in Italy during the 1970s by Angelo Mangiarotti for Skipper. Part of the celebrated Eros series, its soft, flowing shape and the distinct veining of the travertine stone combine to form an aesthetically pleasing and timeless piece. The table’s structure features a unique gravity interlocking design, where the weight of the top ensures its secure fit into the conical base without the need for additional joints. This seamless construction adds to its sleek and minimalistic charm. We have two side tables available, priced per piece.

Angelo Mangiarotti (1921–2012) was an influential Italian architect and industrial designer, renowned for his innovative approach to both architecture and product design. He was particularly interested in the industrial processes of construction, emphasizing the importance of function alongside form. His designs often explored the relationship between materials and techniques, leading to creations that were both technically ingenious and visually compelling. The Eros series, including these side tables, exemplifies Mangiarotti’s commitment to the intelligent use of material weight and form, ensuring that each piece stands out not just for its beauty, but for its precision and functionality.
