Italian vintage marble dining table model Castore by Angelo Mangiarotti, 1975

Very rare model "Castore" dining table with glass top and a marble base designed by Angelo Mangiarotti in 1975 for Sorgente dei Mobili. The round glass top rests on a heavy marble pillar, and visually, Mangiarotti would have it seem that only a small marble bowl on top of the glass plate is holding it in place. The rounded corners on both the pillar and the bowl ads a sense of softness to the otherwise heavy aesthetics of the marble. The marble bowl can be removed and used as an individual element. However, keeping it as an integral part of the design, you can enjoy additional rounded corners, as the bowl reflects in the glass table top. It is in very good condition, the marble of the base has no dents or scratches, the bowl has a small dents. The glass top has light -age related signs of wear and light scratches.
