Rare and highly coveted, Mangiarotti’s work has been showcased in premier interiors and leading design publications. These chairs would make a perfect complement to one of his iconic Eros marble dining tables.

As the name suggests, the 'Tre 3' chair features a distinctive three-legged T-shaped base—an elegant nod to the iconic Laverne T-chair by Katavolos, Littell, and Kelley. Here, the form is reimagined in black lacquered wood, offering a warmer, more sophisticated aesthetic. The sculptural frame pairs beautifully with the richly patinated black leather slings, creating a striking balance of texture and tone.

These rare chairs by Angelo Mangiarotti for Skipper are exceptionally versatile. They would make a refined statement in a Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian Modern, or Danish Modern interior, and integrate seamlessly into Contemporary or Post-Modern spaces. For a bold, curated look, consider placing them in Traditional, Transitional, Classical, or even Art Deco environments where their clean lines offer a compelling contrast.

Ideal not only for residential settings—from dining rooms and breakfast nooks to bedrooms, dressing areas, and entryways—but also for commercial applications such as boutique hotel lobbies, members clubs, creative studios, or executive offices. These chairs function beautifully as side chairs, dining chairs, lounge or occasional seating, and more—bringing both form and function to virtually any interior. Please note, Angelo Mangiarotti pieces are not marked or signed. See less
