Designed by Angelo Mangiarotti for Skipper from the 'Eros' series, rare pair of Carrara marble tall side tables or consoles with top fitted on a conical base. These elegantly organic tables have beautiful subtle veining throughout. Original Skipper labels on underside of each table. As the labels attests, these Mangiarotti Carrara marble tables are from the more rare original 1971 production for Skipper.Given Mangiarotti's research on furniture without joints, this side table is an example of the result of a gravity interlocking design in which the side tabletop because of its weight stably fits into the truncated conical base. The word 'Eros' refers to the male-female coupling of this interlocking solution. It is truly an ingenious and elegant design.Price is for single table. Price for pair of tables is $24,000.Literature:Beppe Finessi, Su Mangiarotti: Architettura, Design, Scultura, Milan, 2002, pp. 182- 185Giuliana Gramigna and Paola Biondi, Il design in Italia dell”arredamento domestico, Turin, 1999, p. 294, fig. 2Giuliana Gramigna, Repertorio del design italiano 1950-2000 per l’arredamento domestico, Volume 1, Turin, 2003, p. 192.
