Eros Dining Table

A set of marble tables as a milestone of the research into furniture with assembled without joints or clamps: the structural design of the “Eros” tables involves gravity-based joint between the top and leg made possible by the truncated-conical section of the leg itself.

Eros is more than a product, it is a system envisaged in various different forms and sizes, each with its own special embedding. The elegant design of the eyelets along the rims and corners of the table tops results from eliminate the more fragile parts, which would not have been able to withstand stress and strain: a sophisticated detail and distinctive feature of this authentic piece of structural invention.

One of the great names of Twentieth century Italian design, a committed, cultivated and brilliant designer, capable of embracing the ideals of the Modern Movement and going beyond them with his experimental and extremely original designs, Angelo Mangiarotti has succeeded in applying his unique talent to projects of different scales, ranging from architecture to design.

An advocate of rigorous functionalism, he has never neglected the pursuit of elegance and beauty in his work. He pushed beyond conventional boundaries and moved into sculpture with his skillful reflections on plasticity and form, always using contemporary materials and production processes. His approach, and the principles that underlie it, have always been the result of a profound awareness of the importance of values that have an ethical dimension. Angelo Mangiarotti has created his own ‘happiness’ through the ‘correctness’ of his practice, cleverly managing to reconcile the inescapable dualism of ethics and aesthetics.
