Eccentrico Coffee Tables - 1979
Brand:
Agapecasa
Eccentrico Coffee Tables by Angelo Mangiarotti for Agapecasa are a study in structure and equilibrium, expressing the designer’s pursuit of construction taken to its conceptual limits. Crafted entirely in marble, the elliptical top is set asymmetrically into an inclined cylindrical base, forming a gravity joint that relies on friction and eccentricity to secure the composition. Its own weight becomes the locking mechanism, closing the open joint through balance alone.

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.
