Angelo Mangiarotti

Eros tables for Agapecasa, a family of marble tables with tops rest on truncated-conical legs through gravity joints, with no mechanical fasteners. The conical leg engages a corresponding opening in the underside of the top, so that load and geometry alone stabilize the whole.

Eccentrico and Inca Tables are further explorations in stone where cantilevered masses and asymmetric supports, test the limits of balance while remaining structurally sound.

The Tre 3 chair is a three‑legged design crafted in wood and leather, engineered with a transverse support structure and precise joinery that ensure stability. Its minimal form demonstrates how thoughtful reduction can coexist with comfort and functional integrity.

Realities of Construction

Mangiarotti is regarded as a key figure in post-war Italian design for his ability to merge rationalist principles with sensuous form. While many modernist designers pursued purity of line and industrial repetition, he insisted that each project begin with the realities of construction: how elements meet, how loads are transferred, how materials age.
