The frame never changes. What changes on a DR designer desk is the top, and the top decides the rest: walnut veneer with a solid walnut edge, painted or smoked glass, or a white Calacatta-finish stoneware slab laid over a glass under-top. Claudio Bellini designed the structure for Frezza in solid wood, lacquered white, lacquered anthracite or left in dark walnut, and the catalogue treats the three tops as three characters of the same desk. Even the height follows: 29.3 inches with the wooden top, 28.7 with glass, because the top thickness is part of the proportion, not something to hide.

For an American executive floor that is a useful way to specify. The A&D team can hold one frame across several offices and let the top change from the CEO room to the partners' offices, keeping the round meeting tables and cabinets in the same family. La Mercanti ships DR from Italy with the finish schedule already written per room, so the installer receives frames, tops and Frezza units labeled by destination. Stone, glass and wood arrive as one order, and one conversation.

FAQ

Is the smoked glass on DR tempered or laminated?
Laminated: Frezza specifies it as 88.1, two 8 mm sheets bonded with an interlayer, about 0.6 inches in total. The painted glass tops are a single 15 mm sheet instead. Both sit on the same solid wood frame.
Who is Claudio Bellini, the designer of DR?
A Milan architect and designer, born in 1963, trained at the Politecnico di Milano and running his own studio since 1996. Frezza notes he grew up with his father Mario Bellini, one of the names of Italian design. For Frezza he also designed the Fior di Loto chair and the Russell sofa.
What cabinet fronts come with the DR collection?
Glossy lacquered in white, blue, anthracite or green, or dark walnut veneer, on a matte lacquered white or anthracite body. Cabinets are 78 inches wide and come in two heights, with clear glass shelves inside.
How small is the smallest DR storage piece?
About 17 inches wide, 22 deep and 25 high (43 × 57 × 64 cm): a compact unit that matches the finishes of the larger cabinets and can stand beside the desk or the service table.
How long does a DR order take to arrive in the US?
Every DR order is made to specification in Italy, so the date is confirmed in writing at order confirmation, once finishes and tops are fixed. La Mercanti then handles export packing and delivery to the site through its US forwarders.

How to document a DR order before it leaves for production

Five checks that turn a DR quote from Frezza into an order nobody has to reopen.

Confirm the frame
Write down the DR frame finish per room: white lacquer, anthracite lacquer or solid dark walnut, with the RAL codes from the catalog.
Assign the surfaces
List each DR desk with its top material and color code, because height and thickness change with the choice.
Fix the layouts
Mark right- or left-hand versions and which DR units are supporting units, on the floor plan that goes with the order.
Close the cabinets
For every DR cabinet, note width, height and front finish, plus the glass shelves you want inside.
Sign the schedule
La Mercanti returns the complete DR finish schedule for signature; production starts from that document, not from emails.
