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.

The warm tones and natural veining of the Rosso Verona marble give the table a rich presence, contrasting with the purity of its architectural form. Both functional and monumental, this piece exemplifies Mangiarotti’s philosophy of uniting structure and form, and remains a timeless icon of Italian modernist design. See less
