Set of side tables "Eros", 1980s.
Marble.
May show wear and tear.
The piece will be available approximately 15 days after payment has been made.
Measurements: 75 x 43 x 55 and 40 x 46 x 54 cm.
Graduated in architecture in 1948 from the Politecnico di Milano, Mangiarotti developed his beginnings as a professional in the USA, where he participated in the competition for the "LOOP" in Chicago. While abroad, he met Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe and Konrad Wachsmann. On his return from the United States, he decided to open his own studio in Milan together with Bruno Morassutti. In 1989 he opened the Tokyo-based Mangiarotti & Associates, and from 1986 to 1992 he was artistic director of Colle Cristalleria.
In parallel to his professional activity, which led him to publish his works in books, specialised magazines and newspapers, he taught at Italian and foreign universities, for example at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago and at the Higher Institute of Industrial Design in Venice.
Angelo Mangiarotti's design activity, the theoretical foundations of which were set out in the book "In nome dell'architettura" (In the name of architecture) published in 1987. Although the language of architecture is used to express a new man-environment relationship, Mangiarotti attributes a very special role to plastic research in his activity as a designer. His studies, always carried out with full respect for the properties of materials, were aimed at defining the form of the object as a quality of the material.
In the case of his "Eros" series, the gravity and design of each structure make these pieces true works of design and ingenuity. The suspension of the base is achieved thanks to the conical shape of the support, blocking in total straightness the board blocked by an inlay in a strategic point, exerting the same weight of the material as balance.
