Angelo Mangiarotti
Italian architect, designer, teacher and urban planner Angelo Mangiarotti was a leading light in the international design community from the 1960s onward. While he was an adherent of the rationalist principles of purity of line and simplicity of construction, he sought to imbue his designs with a sense of character and lightness of spirit that was often lacking in late-20th-century modernist architecture and design.
Born in Milan, Mangiarotti studied architecture at Milan Polytechnic, graduating in 1948. Five years later, he won a visiting professorship at the Illinois Institute of Technology — beginning a peripatetic academic career that would see him teaching in numerous Italian institutions as well as in schools as far afield as Hawaii and Australia. He worked with Bauhaus eminences Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and met such greats as Frank Lloyd Wright and Walter Gropius. He returned to Italy in 1955 and would go on to work on numerous industrial, residential, commercial and civic projects in his home country, most notably a group of six railway stations in Milan.
As a designer, Mangiarotti and the development of his career embodies the evolution of modernism in the latter decades of the 20th century. In the late 1950s and early ’60s, after early experiments in plywood furniture and one-piece foam-core seating — including the 1110 lounge chair for Cassina — Mangiarotti began to design using more classic materials, from delicate, curvaceous blown-glass table lamps for Artemide to chandeliers with crystal links for Vistosi. In 1971, Mangiarotti introduced what became his signature designs: a series of tables in marble and other stones that featured “gravity joints,” their legs held in place by the weight of the tabletop. Tables in his Eros collection (1971) have muscular proportions that anticipate the robust, overscaled lines of postmodern works that would appear 10 years later: His Eccentrico table, for example, is a striking assemblage in marble featuring a top that is cantilevered dramatically on a canted columnar base.
But simplicity and practicality were consistently the primary watchwords of Mangiarotti’s designs. The purity and elegance of the objects he created offer a graceful counterpoint to a traditional decor, yet they have a singular sculptural presence that allows them to stand out powerfully in a modern interior.

- Fountain Style Murano Glass Chandelier by BarovierBy BarovierLocated in Saint-Ouen, IDFStunning vintage chandelier from the 1930s in Murano glass and brass settings, by Barovier. Several handmade delicate parts compose this amazing piece, ribbed hand opened clear etched glass canopy and bowls, fluted vertical tube to decorate the stem, torciglione glass bursting out of the upper bowl to imitate the water flowing out of the fountain and sixteen leaves, also imitating the water movement. Barovier & Toso The name Barovier & Toso refers to one of the oldest Italian houses specialized in Murano glass objects. The house was founded in 1295 and still producing Murano glass objects to this day. The surname may not sound Italian. And for good reason, it comes from Berry, like those men-at-arms thanked by land for having well defended the lord of Castelfranco Veneto, a locality near Venice. The Baroviers embarked on the exploitation of glass and settled in the 14th century on the island of Murano, where the doges confined the ovens to protect the neighbor city of Venice, whose dwellings were at the time built of wood. During the Renaissance, Angelo Barovier assumed important responsibilities within the community of Murano and built a good part of the development of the local glass activity, in addition to the introduction of so-called "crystalline" glass and the “murrine” technique developed by his daughter, Marietta. At the end of the 19th century, the house became known as “Fratelli Barovier”, during this new era, the two brothers, Benvenuto and Giuseppe Barovier introduced the fabrication of the “murrini fusi” glass. The house became “Barovier & Toso” when in 1942 it merged with the Toso family of glass...Category
