Clizia Low Stool - 1990
Brand:
Agapecasa
A sculpture for sitting on with obvious sculptural, sinuous and flowing lines, seemingly in contrast with the hardness and staticity of the stone it is made of. A chair designed with a cantilever seat supported by a central stand with sinuous and flowing lines, seemingly in contrast with the hardness and staticness of the stone it is made of. A carefully gauged construction, whose complexity evokes certain studies by Escher. The upper edge of the seat coincides with the lower edge so that the monolithic sections of “Clizia” chairs are made out of the same block of marble in one single cut performed by numerically controlled machines, simultaneously creating two chairs, optimising the material by reducing waste to a minimum. Clizia is now available in concrete, in addition to the original, marble version. Marble seat suitable for indoor or outdoor use, made from white Carrara, black Marquina marble or in fiber reinforced concrete with oxidized steel support.

Angelo Mangiarotti
Italian architect and furniture designer
Angelo Mangiarotti was an architect, industrial designer and sculptor whose work is defined by structural clarity, material honesty and a quiet but powerful sense of form.
He studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano and graduated in the late 1940s, entering practice just as Italian architecture and design were redefining themselves after the war. From the 1950s onward, he developed parallel careers in architecture, product design and teaching, working with leading Italian manufacturers. Across all these fields, the constant was an insistence that structure and material themselves give the piece its character.
