Agapecasa
CAP53
A few years after the project of the SK207 table, persuaded by the mechanical characteristics and the elevated corrosion resistance of the material, Angelo Mangiarotti returned to working with bronze. With the CAP53 vases, the ancient technique of "lost-wax" casting draws closer to its original field, the production of sculptures.
Casting and polishing celebrate the color, the brilliance and the texture of the material in an articulated vocabulary of simple yet sensual forms, derived from intuition and experimentation. The design of the vases is built on the principle that, in section, two circles of different diameter, moving along the vertical axes, can originate a great number of different objects. CAP53 is available in three versions, each of them available in a limited edition of 100 numbered copies.

Agapecasa
In 2009, Agape's passion for the culture of design and the long standing collaboration with Angelo Mangiarotti, culminated in the establishment of Agapecasa, dedicated to the re-edition of the original and timeless pieces of one of the greatest masters of post-war Italian design and architecture.
Agapecasa has been trusted with exclusive production rights of the archives of Angelo Mangiarotti. The "Mangiarotti Collection" is a collection of original furniture pieces designed by Angelo Mangiarotti from the early 50s onwards: design classics, carefully tested and updated in full agreement with Studio Mangiarotti.
Angelo Mangiarotti
Angelo Mangiarotti (1921-2012) was one of the great figures of 20th-century Italian design, working at every scale from architecture to design and sculpture. He graduated in architecture from the Politecnico di Milano in 1948, met Wright, Gropius and Mies van der Rohe in the United States in 1953-54, and in 1955 founded a Milan studio with Bruno Morassutti.
His research into gravity joints ran from the Eros marble tables of 1971 to Eccentrico in 1979, and in 1994 he received the Compasso d’Oro career award. Since 2010 Agapecasa has produced his work as the Mangiarotti Collection.
