Codutti: the maker that fitted out the Raffaello, now for the corner office
Some furniture has a story worth telling a visitor. Codutti does: founded by three brothers in 1954, it fitted out two icons of the Italian fleet, the cruise ships Raffaello and Michelangelo, before turning that craft to the executive office. Today it means executive desks and meeting tables in leather and veneer.
For a U.S. leadership floor, that pedigree signals seriousness without a word. La Mercanti specifies Codutti for American projects, handling freight and white-glove delivery to the site.
FAQ
What sets a Codutti desk apart in materials?
Codutti works leather and hide by hand, and favours natural materials — wood, metal, glass, stone — keeping plastic marginal. A leather executive desk here is a piece, not a product. La Mercanti confirms it on samples.
Can I have a Codutti desk built to my specification?
Yes: production is in-house and Codutti's technical office designs each piece, so materials, size and ergonomics fit the project. La Mercanti manages the maker and coordinates delivery in the U.S.
