AGAPECASA

In 2009, the Benedini brothers acquired the production rights to the majority of designer Angelo Mangiarotti's work. This marked the birth of Agapecasa, a ...brand dedicated to the reissuing of original pieces from the Mangiarotti Collection. All projects produced by Agapecasa are based on Mangiarotti's designs and rooted in studies of the original models. Each piece, conceived from the 1950s onward, has been thoroughly analyzed from a technical and constructive perspective, then reinterpreted to meet the evolving needs of our time and comply with today’s standards of quality, durability, and safety. The Mangiarotti Agapecasa collection faithfully reproduces some of Mangiarotti’s most famous designs, produced with a focus on contemporary demands. Minimal variations in construction are introduced while carefully preserving the theoretical, compositional, and formal aspects of the artist's work. Read more

Angelo Mangiarotti is one of the leading figures of 20th-century Italian design—a dedicated, cultured, and brilliant creator who adopted the ideals of the Modern Movement and transcended them with his experimental and highly original works. Mangiarotti uniquely applied his ingenuity across various design scales, from architecture to product design. Though a master of rigorous functionalism, he never abandoned his pursuit of elegance and beauty through his design philosophy. He ventured beyond traditional domains, reaching into sculpture through thoughtful explorations of plastic and formal values, always employing materials and production techniques consistent with his time. He achieved his “happiness” through the “rightness” of his actions, brilliantly reconciling the timeless duality of ethics and aesthetics.
