1989 More Table

The latest chapter in the history of the “modern” table, conceptually and structurally more advanced, rewritten by the master Angelo Mangiarotti through the paintings “Eros”, “Incas”, “Asolo” and indeed “More”; two decades of experimentation. Here we have a simple granite top with 4 steel legs with a double curved profile that fit together.

In More, at the upper end, at the point of contact with the upper part, the cross-section of the leg becomes truncated tapered at the point of contact with the upper part, allowing a union with the upper part, largely re-proposing the solution tried with the “Eros” table. “common seriousness”. But the inclination of the leg, which increases the stability of the table, determines a hole whose upper surface, which can be read on the table top as a kind of construction clue, becomes elliptical with a shape that contributes to greater obstruction. The leg is at this point, avoiding rotations. The original solution involved using only marble tops. After deciding to also use wooden tops, a technical solution of mechanical fixing on steel was adopted, which best suits the two materials.
