16 h x 21 1⁄2 w x 17 1⁄2 d in (41 x 55 x 45 cm)
Carrara marble side table with top fitted on conical base.
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 table top 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.
