ANGELO MANGIAROTTI
Angelo Mangiarotti was born in Milan, Italy in 1921. He was an architect, urban planner, and designer whose designs earned him awards in Italy and abroad.
Angelo Mangiarotti graduated from the Architecture School of Politecnico di Milano in 1948. He moved to the United States in 1953 and started working in Chicago as a visiting professor for the Illinois Institute of Technology. During his time at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Mangiarotti met Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Gropius, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Konrad Wachsmann, all of whom were instrumental in his personal and professional growth.
Two years later, Mangiarotti returned to Italy and opened his own architectural firm in Milan with Bruno Morassutti. The partnership was active until 1960.

A real constructive record, the "Eccentrico" table leads Angelo Mangiarotti towards the supremacy of some great "builders" of twentieth century furniture, such as Franco Albini from the "Veliero" bookcase and Carlo Mollino from the "Cremona" table: projects that the limits to which they were pushed showed theoretical goals never achieved before.

In the Tre 3 project, a sheet of leather is inserted into the higher rear leg which gently draws the backrest and seat as it descends. A reinterpretation of a type of chair already reinterpreted on other occasions by the protagonists of Nordic design, the "3T" brings Angelo Mangiarotti closer to the work of another great master of the twentieth century, Carlo Scarpa, whose lesson influenced all the authors who saw in the attention to the details a universe to be explored and honored.

A few years after the project of the SK207 table, convinced by the mechanical characteristics and the high corrosion resistance of the material, Angelo Mangiarotti returns to work with bronze. With the CAP53 series of vases, the ancient technique of "lost wax" casting returns to its original field of application, the creation of sculptures.
