Product description
Large ‘Eros’ dining table in very good condition.
The table measures 139.5 cm. in diameter ands a 4 cm. thick top.
Designed by Angelo Mangiarotti.
Produced by Skipper in the 1970s
The table is entirely made from Carrara marble, celebrated for its pristine white color and distinctive grey veining.
The table is assembled without joints or clamps: the structural design of the ‘Eros’ tables involves a gravity-based joint between the top and leg made possible by the truncated-conical shape of the base itself. It is kept in place as a result of the weight of the material. As a consequence, the entire structure is stable and strong.
This is an original table made in the 1970s by Skipper,
Provenance: Private home in Paris France, where it stood since 1978.
Angelo Mangiarotti was born in Milan in 1921. He studied at the Architectural school and at the Polytechnical school of Milan. In 1953, he went to the United States, more precisely in Chicago where he taught at the Illinois Institute of Technology. He met Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Frank Llyod Wright, Walter Gropius and Konrad Wachsmann. When he came back from the United Sates, he founded an architectural firm with Bruno Morassutti. In 1989, he founded the Mangiarotti & Associates company in Tokyo. From 1986 to 1992, he held the post of artistic director for Colle Cristalleria. Plastic research was really important to Mangiarotti. Thanks to his personality, his work and his creations, Mangiarotti is an iconic Italian designer.
