Pair of Carrara Marble Consoles from Eros Series by Angelo Mangiarotti
-
Description
Designed by Angelo Mangiarotti for Skipper from the Eros series, iconic pair of Carrara marble console tables each with large elliptical top fitted on two conical bases. These elegantly organic console tables have beautiful subtle veining throughout. Original Skipper labels on underside of each console table. These labeled Mangiarotti Carrara marble consoles are rare to find as a pair from the original 1971 production for Skipper, Italy.
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. -
