This elegant organic table showcases beautiful fine veining throughout the black Marquina marble. Original Skipper label on the underside. As the label attests, this Mangiarotti Nero Marquina marble table belongs to the rare original production of 1971 for Skipper.

Considering Mangiarotti's research on jointless furniture, this side table is an example of a gravity interlocking design where the tabletop, due to its weight, securely fits into the truncated conical base. The word "Eros" refers to the male-female coupling of this interlocking solution. It is a truly ingenious and elegant design.
