Drawn inside the company that builds it, President is the work of i4Mariani's own research and development department, 2015, in Mariano Comense. The maker describes it as a perfect expression of its production flexibility: one standard table, available exactly as presented, that can still be reworked in size, materials and accessories. For anyone comparing long boardroom conference tables, that means a reference model to start from and room to change it.
The standard table is 236¼ by 82⅝ inches and 29⅛ inches high. Ten boxes open in the top, each holding a pair of universal outlets plus a Schuko, one port each for USB-A and USB-C, ⅛-inch audio, HDMI and two RJ45 data jacks, all under a leather-topped lid. Below, doors in veneer or melamine, which can also be leather-clad, open onto a metal channel circling the table, set in a frame of black melamine. Cables are not included, so they are specified with the AV contractor of the executive meeting room.
The top comes four ways: leather framing a rosewood-type center or a melamine center, or the reverse, with veneer or melamine framing the leather. The standard veneer carries a filled-pore lacquer at 20 gloss; five melamine colors and three leather collections complete the range. La Mercanti reviews the room plan with the client before deciding what, if anything, should differ from the standard model.

The standard table is 236¼ inches long, which is 19 feet 8¼ inches, by 82⅝ inches deep and 29⅛ inches high. On the floor plan, add generous clearance for chairs pulled back and a walkway behind them on both long sides; the table is the fixed number, so the room drawing is where the real decision is made.
Five melamine finishes are standard: Canaletto walnut, light walnut, white oak, gray oak and Spessart oak; i4Mariani lists every melamine in its collection, and others can be requested. Melamine works on two of the four versions, either framing a leather center or as the center inside a leather top, with doors to match.
i4Mariani notes that, depending on the leather category chosen, the size of the individual cuts can vary noticeably. On a top almost twenty feet long that changes how many pieces make up the surface and where they meet. It is worth seeing a sample of the chosen category, and asking how it lays out, before the order is confirmed.
Yes. The catalog states that President is available as standard exactly as presented: the full size, leather paired with rosewood-type veneer or with melamine, and the doors in the base. That gives a clear reference for budget and drawings; anything different in size, materials or accessories is then handled as a request to the maker.
Behind the doors sits an inner frame in black melamine, with a metal channel running around the table to carry cables to the boxes. The doors themselves are veneer or melamine and can be covered in leather. Black inside means that when a door is opened in a lit room, the structure stays discreet.
President comes with its boxes and cable channel, not with the cables. Five steps to bring power, network, audio and HDMI to the top and close it neatly afterward.
President comes with its ten boxes, a metal channel and a base prepared for cabling, but the cables are not included. List power, network, HDMI and audio runs with your AV contractor, so lengths and connector types match the equipment actually going into the room.
The base is built to take cables, so the supply should arrive under the table, not across the carpet. Agree with the electrician where the feed rises on the floor plan, within the footprint of the base, before the floor finish goes down.
Doors in veneer, melamine or leather run along the base and open to reach the cabling. Behind them is a black melamine frame. Keep the access side clear of credenzas so the doors can swing fully whenever a run needs to be added or swapped.
A metal channel runs around the whole table and links the boxes. Lay each cable along it to its box rather than bundling everything at one point; label both ends so a future change can be traced without opening every door.
Each box takes two universal outlets, a Schuko outlet, USB-A and USB-C, a ⅛-inch audio jack, HDMI and two RJ45 jacks. Test every port once connected, then shut the leather-covered lid so the top reads as a single surface again.
