Eros Marble Side Table by Angelo Mangiarotti, 1970s

Authentic, vintage 'Eros' marble side table by Angelo Mangiarotti made in the 1970s. "Happiness comes from rightness" said designer, architect and professor, Angelo Mangiarotti. Precision is an essential element of his series of Eros tables developed for Skipper in 1971. They consist only of a marble slab and in this case, a conical leg which 'fits' into the table opening. The weight of the slab stabilises the structure. The conical leg merges with the table top. Thanks to the pure Carrara marble and the total renunciation of other connecting elements, the table has a lovely sculptural presence. This gallery has two of these tables if a set is desired. Although there are some reproductions of these tables, the ones in this listing were acquired from a trusted source in Italy, and sport a telltale curvature in the table opening whereas reproductions are more angular in the same place. They are in good overall condition with some age-related marks and stains (mostly on the underside) attesting to their age and authentic status as vintage icons. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Dimensions : H 40 cm / 15.7" W 55 cm / 21.7" D 46 cm / 18.1"
