Angelo Mangiarotti for Skipper from the Eros series very rare (no longer in production in current series) and large Triforglio coffee table in black Marquina marble with an elegant shamrock-shape designed tabletop interlocked with tops of three fitted conical bases. Exquisite and organic in shape, this marble coffee table is a chic statement piece and will enhance any interior either classic or modern. Original Skipper sticker on underside.

Given Mangiarotti’s research on furniture without joints, this table was an example of the result of a gravity interlocking design in which the tabletop because of its weight stably fits into the truncated conical legs. The word Eros refers to the male-female coupling of this interlocking solution. It is truly an ingenious and elegant design.
