Gorgeous pair of so called ‘Eros’ side tables designed by Angelo Mangiarotti and manufactured by Skipper, Italy 1971. These table are made of black marguina marble and have beautiful white veins in the black marble, the different veins in the marble make all these tables unique but this has always been a pair. Absolutely amazing sctructure in the marble, like a work of art. This table comes from the Eros series and is very hard to find in this amazing condition. The top is held by one conic pedestal. These tables is polished into perfect condition without any marks to the marble.
A set of marble tables as the conclusion of research into embedded furniture with no joints or clamps: the structural design of the “Eros” tables involves gravity-based embedding between the top and leg made possible by the truncated-conical section of the leg itself, which easily accommodates the table top locking it in a preset position, while the weight of the material makes the embedding even tighter fitting and increases the overall stability of the entire structure. 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.
