Table

Angelo Mangiarotti, Late 1960's project

Prototype of a table designed by architect Angelo Mangiarotti for the Molteni family. The large bronze base, surmounted by a thin circular glass top, echoes the experiments conducted by the architect during the 1950s and 1960s. A sculptural table that contrasts the materiality and “heaviness” of the foot with the lightness of the top.
