This refined round dining table, crafted in solid travertine during the 1970s, is executed in the style of Angelo Mangiarotti, one of Italy’s most celebrated architects and designers. While Mangiarotti’s original productions with Skipper were primarily realized in Carrara and other marbles, this travertine version embodies his unmistakable design language: a monolithic top balanced atop a conical base, uniting sculptural clarity with structural ingenuity.
The tabletop, cut from a 3 cm travertine slab, reveals soft ivory and sandy tonalities, its natural veining accentuating the stone’s geological richness. The base, pure in its geometric form, recalls Mangiarotti’s exploration of gravity-based joinery and architectural proportion, offering both stability and sculptural presence.
With its 125 cm diameter, the table offers generous seating while maintaining a minimal footprint, making it as functional as it is monumental. It stands as a rare example of how Italian design in the 1970s translated timeless materiality into enduring architectural furniture.
Measurements:
Diameter: 125 cm
Height: 72 cm
Thickness: 3 cm
About the Style of Angelo Mangiarotti:
Angelo Mangiarotti (1921–2012) redefined Italian postwar design through his synthesis of architecture, sculpture, and industrial precision. His celebrated tables for Skipper in the 1970s particularly the Eros and Incas series demonstrated a radical approach to stone furniture, using precision cuts and gravity joints to achieve balance without adhesives. Though not an original documented model, this table pays homage to Mangiarotti’s aesthetic, where purity of form and the truth of material take center stage
