This sculptural piece belongs to Mangiarotti’s renowned Eros series, celebrated for its ingenious construction method: the oval top rests on conical legs, joined solely by gravity and precision-cut circular joints. The distinctive round cut-outs at each end of the top interlock seamlessly with the cone-shaped supports, eliminating the need for adhesives or hardware.
