ITALIAN DESIGNER AND ARCHITECT ANGELO MANGIAROTTI Black Marquina Marble eros OVAL COFFEE TABLE
Angelo Mangiarotti Eros round black Marquina marble oval coffee table from the Eros series, vintage and not the re edition. This amazing architectural design by the master of design Mangiarotti has the two conical legs supporting the oval top by a designed system of gravity locking.
Part of the Eros series for Skipper, Italy, 1970s.
Given Mangiarotti's research on furniture without joints, this table was an example of the result of a gravity interlocking design in which the top because of its weight stably fits into the two legs.
The word 'Eros' refers to the male-female coupling of this interlocking solution.
