Angelo Mangiarotti Italian Eros Console Bianco Statuario Marble for Skipper 1971
Eros console by Angelo Mangiarotti for Skipper Eros, circa 1971 in Bianco Statuario marble, one of the most precious and heavily veined white marble.
Designed by Angelo Mangiarotti for Skipper from the 'Eros' series, Carrara marble console with top fitted on two conical bases, Italy, 1971. 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.
