Trade terms for professionals and design studios
Follow the legs and you have the design. ICF calls them distinctive: curved steel, shaping what the company describes as an «elegant, dynamic structure», and they are the reason this conference table seems to have some movement in it even with nobody in the room. Most tables ask you to look at the top. The Levita Table sends your eye to the floor first.
That curve has an engineer's job as well as a designer's. Working with an I-beam structure, it lets Khodi Feiz support large tops while keeping the parts to a minimum, and the softly shaped surface above stays quiet so the line below can do the talking. ICF's own pictures show the bases both mirror-bright and dark, and that choice decides how loudly the line speaks. It is also worth settling before you pull up any boardroom chairs, since they will sit right beside it.
ICF names three settings for the table: operational, meeting and executive spaces, with low versions, side tables, and pieces for work and for dining in the same family. For desks there is the Levita Desk; for lounge areas, the Levita Sofa with its benches, poufs and integrated side tables. La Mercanti walks each client through the leg and top finishes ICF can already supply, before anyone signs off on a color.
Let us know which finishes you'd like to explore
It's a shape builders have long used to carry a lot with little material, and ICF chose it because it combines visual lightness and functional efficiency. On a conference table, that means the framework doesn't need to look massive to do its job. The people sitting at it won't think about it. Whoever looks in from the doorway will notice that the top seems to be asking for remarkably little support, and that the room looks less crowded because of it.
ICF calls this a complete system for organising space, and the range backs that up: low versions, side tables, tables for work, meals or meetings, plus a Desk and a Sofa family alongside. For a facilities team, the practical gain is one design language across rooms that are usually bought separately. Elements can be combined, configured and adapted, according to the panel on ICF's Orgatec stand, so a floor can be built up room by room as the project takes shape.
Because ICF drew them from the same vocabulary. The tables share the seating's design language: essential forms, softly shaped tops, bases that are light and easy to recognize. The sofa's feet get the same attention, with what ICF calls a recognizable character. So a lounge and the conference room next door can read as a single project, which is exactly what visitors notice when they walk from one to the other on their way to a meeting.
Dining is on ICF's own list, right next to working and meeting, so you aren't stretching the product by asking. A room that hosts a client presentation in the morning and lunch for the team at noon can stay within one collection. What's worth discussing up front is the top, because a surface used for meals gets cleaned far more often. Tell La Mercanti how the room will really be used and that goes into the conversation with ICF.
ICF says outright that the result doesn't chase an unusual shape at any cost. What it goes after instead is a precise relationship between top, structure and supports, and it credits that relationship with the table's light presence and unmistakable character. For a buyer, there's a real advantage here: a conference table stays in the room through several repaints and new carpets, and a calm silhouette gives you far fewer reasons to want it gone.
A short list to put together before asking for a quote: what the table is for, which room gets it, who works around it, which finishes you have in mind and what else from the collection belongs in the project.
Start your Levita Table request with its job, using ICF's own categories: a table for meetings, for working, for dining, or a smaller low or side piece. When one room has two jobs, say so and say which one matters more. That single sentence shapes every answer you get back, and it's the first thing we need before anything else on this list.
ICF separates operational spaces from meeting and executive ones, and those rooms behave differently. Tell us which one you're furnishing, what the room is called in your building and who uses it most. A snapshot from a phone taken from the doorway helps more than a long description, and it shows us the ceiling, the floor and the walls the table will have to live with.
Give us the number of people who need to sit at the table on a normal day, and the number on the busiest day of the year. That figure has to come from you, because it describes your company and not our furniture. We'll bring it to ICF along with the room, and the top we propose will start from there.
ICF's published images show a mauve surface, a light wood look, and bases that are either mirror-bright or dark graphite. Tell us which of those is closest to what you have in mind, and send a photo of the flooring. Treat them as a starting point, because we'll confirm what can actually be ordered before anything goes into the quote.
Finish with whatever else from the collection might belong in the project: desks from the Levita Desk line, or a lounge built on the Levita Sofa with its benches, poufs and panels. Even a maybe is useful here. Knowing it now lets us look at the finishes together rather than one at a time, and it keeps everything on a single proposal.
