MANGIAROTTI MARBLES

Designed by Angelo Mangiarotti, 1968


Designed in 1968 by Italian architect, sculptor, and designer Angelo Mangiarotti, the Marble collection reimagines bowls and vases as elevated works of art.

Taking inspiration from the sensual materiality of stone, the collection balances out its heaviness with rounded, generous curves and sculptural silhouettes.

 ANGELO MANGIAROTTI

Italian architect, sculptor and designer Angelo Mangiarotti was born in Milan in 1921. Mangiarotti is quoted to have said, ”Happiness comes from honesty”.

A quote that hints to his overall design approach rooted in the firm belief that architecture was a practical discipline and that industrial design was an expression of fine craftsmanship.

He wanted each individual material to be respected and to be used in an appropriate and honest way. Beyond his many architectural feats, Mangiarotti’s body of work boasts a wide array of creative projects from sculpture, to products and lighting.

Over the course of his career, he held lecturing positions at a number of distinguished design and architecture schools in Italy and abroad, he won numerous awards in both design and architecture, and his work has been included in exhibitions and collections at some of the world’s leading art and design institutions such as Centre Pompidou in Paris, Triennale Design Museum in Milan and Gallery MA in Tokyo.

DETAIL

"My colleagues don't do it as much but I like to think that the things we do have to last longer than us and to last I have to use simple principles, elementary concepts, primary materials."
