A sculptural and highly architectural object that perfectly embodies Mangiarotti’s refined minimalist language, where balance, geometry and material become the essence of the design. The elegantly proportioned circular bowl appears suspended above its cylindrical base, creating a striking sense of lightness despite the solidity of the marble. The piece reflects Mangiarotti’s celebrated exploration of pure forms and his masterful approach to stone craftsmanship. Carved from beautiful Carrara marble with delicate cloudy veining and soft ivory-grey tonal variations, the surface has developed a wonderful original patina over time. The satin finish enhances the natural depth and luminosity of the marble. A rare and highly collectible model, widely regarded as one of Mangiarotti’s most iconic marble decorative designs and published in international references dedicated to Italian modern design.
