Angelo Mangiarotti Dining Table for La Sorgente del Mobile, 1972
Description
Angelo Mangiarotti Dining Table for La Sorgente del Mobile, metal and wood, Italy, 1972
Nothing here is decorative, yet nothing feels strictly utilitarian. This dining table by Angelo Mangiarotti is built around a quiet tension between mass and lightness, where every element exists because it must.
The wooden top appears almost suspended, its sharp geometry softened only by the presence of circular brass inserts—precise interruptions that read like punctuation marks rather than ornament. Below, four tapered legs rise from the floor with a sculptural calm, recalling Mangiarotti’s constant dialogue with gravity and balance. There are no visible joints, no technical bravado on display—only form resolving function.
Mangiarotti (1921–2012) approached furniture as an extension of architectural thinking, closer in spirit to structural research than to styling. In this table, produced by La Sorgente del Mobile in 1972, his vision aligns with the discipline of Italian masters such as Franco Albini and Carlo Scarpa, where proportion, material, and silence carry the project forward.
