The M1 dining table, designed by Angelo Mangiarotti in 1969, is a stunning piece of Italian craftsmanship that embodies the elegance and sophistication of mid-century modern design. This iconic table, made in Italy, is made of fine Carrara marble, known for its refined gray veins on a white background, which add a touch of natural beauty and timeless charm to any space.
The design of the table is characterized by clean and elegant shapes, which reflect Mangiarotti's desire to create an impressive piece using quality materials, without visible joints. This attention to detail and commitment to quality is evident in the table's excellent vintage condition, with no chips or cracks in the marble. The table has been meticulously restored by a specialist company, ensuring its longevity and preserving its original beauty.
The restoration process involved removing the yellowed polyester paint and refinishing the marble. A UV-resistant satin (semi-matt) acrylic coating was then applied, which gave the marble a very natural appearance, whilst protecting it from the elements. This careful restoration enhances the aesthetics of the table.
Measurements: height 72 cm, top diameter 130 cm and thickness 3 cm.
