Dining Set with Giuseppe Rivadossi Chairs and Angelo Mangiarotti Dining Table in Marble and Bronze
Lovely Italian dining set consisting of a Angelo Mangiarotti table and Giuseppe Rivadossi dining chairs
Angelo Mangiarotti for Bernini, dining table, model '302', cast bronze, marble, Italy, 1959
At first glance, the table appears deceptively simple: a perfect circle of white marble poised on a single tapering base. But the gesture of its form is anything but incidental. The transition from horizontal to vertical is resolved with sculptural clarity, and the table becomes an object of both use and reverence.
Designed by Angelo Mangiarotti, this piece carries both technical ambition and poetic restraint. According to Domus, it was the only known table to be cast entirely in bronze. The base, shaped like a slow, elegant trumpet, was cast at the Battaglia Artistic foundry in Milan, a workshop more accustomed to ecclesiastical commissions and public statuary. It is one of the oldest artistic bronze foundries in the world. The historical weight of the foundry meets the modernist clarity of Mangiarotti’s vision. The geometry of the design is pure and intentional. The base widens as it meets the floor, giving the table a visual and literal stability that allows the top to hover almost impossibly light. There are no unnecessary connections or fussy transitions, only a seamless dialogue between material and form.
Please note that the table is in good overall condition, with the only imperfection being a few minor chips along the marble edge. For further details, we encourage you to reach out to our team of design specialists.
Giuseppe Rivadossi for Officina Rivadossi, set of six dining chairs, oak, Italy, 1970s
This remarkable group of chairs, designed by Italian sculptor and artisan Giuseppe Rivadossi, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship inherent in fine woodworking. Constructed from premium oakwood, the chairs' sturdy frames are assembled using intricate joinery techniques that not only ensure lasting durability but also serve as a decorative element. The seat of the chair is elegantly curved, providing both comfort and a subtle nod to organic forms. The beauty of the oakwood is a focal point, with its rich, warm tone and striking grain patterns bringing a sense of natural elegance to the pieces.
Giuseppe Rivadossi (1935) was born in Monteclana di Nave, Italy, where he still lives and works. At a young age, Rivadossi's path begins with wood carving, with works reflecting on his poetic idea of living. In 1962, Rivadossi took over the carpentry founded in 1920 by his father Clemente, which he transformed into an atelier, or rather a creative workshop. Eventually, Rivadossi and collaborators established 'Officina Rivadossi' in 1976 where he started the manufacture of wooden objects and unique modern furniture.
Kindly note that the chairs are in good, used condition. For further details, we encourage you to reach out to our team of design specialists.
