Eros is a set of marble tables which arose out of Angelo Mangiarotti's research into embedded furniture with no joints or clamps. The structural design of the Eros Table involves gravity-based embedding between the top and leg made possible by the truncated conical section of the leg itself, which easily accommodates the tabletop and locks it in a preset position. The system is available in various forms and sizes, each with its own special embedding. The elegant design of the eyelets along the rims and corners of the tabletops results from eliminating the more fragile parts, which would not have been able to withstand stress and strain, which is a sophisticated detail and distinctive feature of this authentic piece of structural innovation.
