Archiutti's catalog presents Ar.tu through eight named compositions — Creative, Idealist, Dynamic, Extroverted, Aesthete, Intellectual, Rational, Enterprising. Not eight products: eight ways the same contemporary executive desk answers the person sitting behind it.

The system underneath never changes. Strict volumes, a desktop divided by a brushed metal insert, and a palette that moves between shiny and matt lacquer, bleached or cooked oak, American walnut and leather — down to a white leather desktop for those who sign more than they type.

Desks come cantilevered on a panel side, bridged over storage, or resting on a service unit, with a wooden return available; meeting tables, credenzas with colored niches and lit bookshelves complete the room. La Mercanti helps you pick the character — the rest is specification.

FAQ

What are the eight Ar.tu compositions?
The catalog names them Creative, Idealist, Dynamic, Extroverted, Aesthete, Intellectual, Rational and Enterprising: eight complete rooms, each pairing the desk with different woods, lacquers, leathers and storage.
Do I have to stay inside one composition?
No — they are starting points. The collection is built on combining tops and finishes, so elements from different compositions can be specified together.
Is a white leather desktop practical for daily work?
Leather is one of the declared desktop finishes and appears in several cataloged compositions. Judge it on the producer's physical samples: their cost is fully credited when the order is confirmed.
What if the desk faces the door?
A modesty panel can be applied to the desk, and the composition keeps its lightness — the catalog shows it as part of the system, not an afterthought.
Which desk footprints are available?
Tops of 200 or 220 cm by 95 cm deep; with the service unit the overall width reaches 223 to 243 cm, in right- or left-handed configuration.

How to choose your Ar.tu character

Five steps from eight cataloged rooms to the one that is yours.

Read the eight rooms
Skim the compositions from Creative to Enterprising and note which two feel familiar — that shortlist does half the work.
Match the wood to the job
Bleached oak lightens, cooked oak grounds, walnut presides. Pick the one your working day can live with.
Decide where the leather goes
Desktop, table center or nowhere: leather is a choice here, not a default.
Sample before you specify
Order the finish samples through La Mercanti — their cost is fully credited on order confirmation.
Lock the dates in writing
Delivery terms are confirmed in writing together with the order, before anything ships.
