Carrara Marble Dining Table from Eros Series by Angelo Mangiarotti

Description
Designed by Angelo Mangiarotti for Skipper from the Eros series, iconic sculptural Carrara marble dining table with large oval top fitted on four conical bases. This elegantly organic dining table has beautiful stark veining throughout. Original Skipper label on underside of table top. This labeled Mangiarotti Carrara marble dining table is from the original 1971 production for Skipper and very rare to find especially in this very good condition with no chips and lovely patina.

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.
