Geometry and plasticity meet harmoniously in the products masterfully designed by the Milanese architect and designer Angelo Mangiarotti (1921-2012). Among the first Italians to grasp the aesthetic and functional possibilities offered by interlocking and jointless furnishings, he collaborated with the largest companies of his time producing unprecedented furniture. Here are three Mangiarotti design picks, available at intOndo.

The pleasant contrast between the massive conical base and the round and thin top characterises this large 'Eros' model centre table designed by Angelo Mangiarotti for Skipper in the '70s, complete with original label.
Slate table mirror by Angelo Mangiarotti, 1960s
This double-faced vanity mirror designed by Angelo Mangiarotti in the late 1960s is made of slate with a brushed steel finish and mirror holder. It's in excellent condition, without cracks or chips.
Pair of Lesbo table lamps by Angelo Mangiarotti for Artemide, 1960s
Named in memory of the Greek island of Lesbos, these table lamps designed by Angelo Mangiarotti for Artemide in the 1960s have a hand-blown glass shaped structure and a metal base. These are vintage items without defects, but with slight traces of wear due to time.
