1970s Central Table from the Incas Series by Angelo Mangiarotti

About the Item

A rare and important central table from the "Aztèques" series. Circa 1978 Angelo Mangiarotti’s work as an architect and industrial designer was led by a belief that carefully respecting a material’s characteristics was imperative to developing a form. The weight of marble inspired him to create his Eros series of tables, that rely solely on gravity to bond the slabs of marble together without fixings – a masterstroke in minimalist philosophy and engineering. This console is from his Incas series, a more brutalist evolution of Eros. A robust top made from grey-blue Pietra Serena sandstone in a sandblasted finish suitable for outdoor environments sits a top sharp angular legs. Pietra Serena has a muted look and feel to it and was extensively used in Renaissance Florence for architectural details. Mangiarotti had the uncommon ability to adapt his design to the chosen material’s specifications, thus transforming a rigid and static material like marble into a product with extraordinary formal softness.
