Mangiarotti M1 Dining Table for Tisettanta early production in Marble, 1969","description":"\u003cp\u003eRare ‘M1’ dining table designed by Angelo Mangiarotti for Tisettanta, executed entirely in Grigio Carnico marble from the Friuli region in Italy. This marble is known for its deep, dark grey tone with bold white veining that gives each piece a unique, almost painterly character. The veining on this example is particularly expressive: it evokes prehistoric rock drawings, birch tree silhouettes and abstract landscapes, as if the surface were a living fossil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMangiarotti’s design language is defined by pure geometry and perfect proportions. The conical pedestal flows elegantly into the thin circular top, creating a light and balanced silhouette. The proportions are exceptionally well resolved — a perfect tension between weight and delicacy. The continuous veining between base and top reinforces the sculptural unity of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an early Tisettanta production, identifiable by the distinctive shape of the top section of the conical base and the way it connects to the marble top — subtly different from later Skipper productions. On the underside, remnants of the original serial number label are still visible. Another beautiful detail is the original gypsum layer inside the base, where the fine craquelure clearly reveals its age. All these details underline the table’s authenticity and its origin in the late 1960s \/ early 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor decades, the marble was protected by a thin epoxy layer — a common practice at the time. We have carefully removed that layer and hand-polished the surface, revealing the original depth and richness of the stone. The result is a vibrant surface with a deep grey tone and striking natural drawings, preserved in outstanding condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition: very good to excellent. No cracks, chips or scratches. Only minor, natural traces of age and use. The top has been fully polished and now shows its original depth and shine again. A rare and characterful example of this iconic model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe last photo was taken during the restoration process. After that the table was polished.

It is one of Mangiarotti’s most celebrated designs, showing his mastery of gravity-based construction and his fascination with material honesty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe table consists of two elements: a conical base and a circular top, both in solid marble. The connection is achieved without screws or fittings. The top rests securely in the carved recess of the base, relying purely on weight and precision. This approach, which Mangiarotti developed in several of his works, demonstrates his architectural training and his belief that form and function should be inseparable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMangiarotti (1921–2012) was an architect and designer educated at the Politecnico di Milano, and worked in Chicago alongside Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright before establishing his own practice in Milan. His work is represented in the permanent collections of major museums such as the MoMA in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Triennale Design Museum in Milan. The collaboration with Skipper resulted in some of his most iconic furniture pieces, including the M1 series of tables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis example is executed in grey marble with striking natural veining. The surface has been polished, highlighting the variations of tone across the stone. The sculptural quality of the base, with its flared top, gives the table an architectural presence while remaining minimal in construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe condition is truly outstanding. There are no cracks, chips, or restorations of any kind. The marble is free of blemishes and the table is ready for immediate use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M1 has become one of the most sought-after dining tables from postwar Italian design, admired for its simplicity, technical ingenuity, and timeless aesthetic. Original examples such as this remain rare on the market, particularly in such pristine condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso a darker M1 available, a first edition, not by Skipper but by T70.
