Angelo Mangiarotti by Poltrona Frau
1 resultsCollection: Angelo Mangiarotti
Brand: Poltrona Frau
Specifications:
The asymmetrical shape of the Pura bowl is a result of the balance of solids and voids and leads it to rest naturally on just one side. The marble is processed using numerically controlled machinery and then smoothed by hand to give it a semi-polished finish that preserves its natural appearance. On the underside of the Pura bowl a circular brass plate with Ruthenium finish is engraved with the signature of the designer and the Poltrona Frau logo.
Angelo Mangiarotti was born in Milan on 26 February 1921. He graduated in Architecture from Milan Polytechnic in 1948. In 1953-1954 he worked in the US, participating, among other things, in the competition for the “LOOP“ in Chicago. During this period abroad he met Frank Lloyd Wright, Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe and Konrad Wachsmann.
