Castore

Castore is a glass and marble table by Italian architect, sculptor and designer Angelo Mangiarotti.‎ Designed in 1975 for Sorgente dei Mobili, the distinct design is now presented by Karakter, available as a 130cm dining table.‎The round glass top rests on a heavy marble pillar, and visually, Mangiarotti would have it seem that only a small marble bowl on top of the glass plate is holding it in place.‎ The rounded corners on both the pillar and the bowl ads a sense of softness to the otherwise heavy aesthetics of the marble.‎The marble bowl can be removed and used as an individual element.‎ However, keeping it as an integral part of the design, you can enjoy additional rounded corners, as the bowl reflects in the glass table top.‎Material:Pillar and bowl in marble, table top in 10mm tempered glass, felt underneath the pillar, cork underneath the bowl.‎Finish:Marbles: Bianco Carrara, Nero Marquina or Pietra GreyGlass: Clear or smoked
