Some designer desks furnish an office; a few take possession of it. Euclideo, a luxury executive desk, belongs to the second kind: a top that shoots out like a cantilevered blade, visually free of support on one side, landing on a single faceted block on the other. i4Mariani calls the effect suspended, apparently free from the laws of gravity — and at 280 by 230 centimeters, the illusion has real wingspan.

Ferruccio Laviani drew it in 2019 and described the method himself: two volumes in contrast — work surface against container — faceted solids that interpenetrate until the shapes themselves delimit the functions. The block underneath is not a pedestal but a full return cabinet with four drawers and a door unit; the steel frame is painted black, and even the steel element under the top comes covered in leather.

Finishes speak the same language: ebony-type veneer as standard, Macassar ebony or Santos rosewood on request, RAL lacquer, or tops in saddle leather with visible stitching — sixty leather typologies before you even reach the hundred-plus soft leathers. La Mercanti ships Euclideo to US projects in right- or left-handed versions, with the electrified top bay configured at order and drawings downloadable from the article page.

FAQ

What makes the Euclideo desk read as a sculpture?
The cantilever: the top stretches out as a faceted blade while all the storage mass gathers in a single block on one side. Laviani describes it as solids that interpenetrate until volumes delimit functions — in practice, a desk you walk around the way you walk around a monolith, at 280 by 230 centimeters.
Where do papers and files actually go in a desk like this?
Into the block itself: the return cabinet is part of the single body, with four drawers and a separate door unit. Nothing needs to be added or matched later — the sculpture already contains the office, in a right- or left-handed version depending on your room.
Can Euclideo handle laptops, chargers and video calls?
Yes — through the EUCLIDDOPTION electrified box recessed in the top, closed by an upper panel that restores the clean surface when unused. Power appears when you work and disappears when the room goes back to being photographed.
Which finish suits an American executive floor best?
The standard ebony veneer makes the strongest first impression and needs no upgrade to feel exclusive; saddle leather with visible stitching turns the desk into a permanent signing table; RAL lacquer lets the architect run the color. Over 160 leather typologies leave little unresolved.
How does delivery to the US work with La Mercanti?
We configure size, hand, finish and the electrified option with you, then align freight and installation with your project. Datasheet plus 2D and 3D drawings download from the article page for your designer; finish samples are billed and fully credited on order confirmation.

Giving the corner office a centerpiece: the Euclideo route

Five decisions for US executives and designers who want the desk to carry the room — scale, hand, material, power and the paperwork that keeps the date.

Give the blade its wingspan
Euclideo needs its geometry respected: plot the 280x230 footprint — or 230x190 for tighter rooms — with walking space on the open side. The drama of the cantilever dies in a corner too small for it.
Pick the hand before the finish
The storage block sits right or left, and the mirrored versions are factory-built, not adjusted on site. Decide from the door: the blade should point into the room, not at a wall.
Let the material match the theater
Ebony for gravitas that photographs well, saddle leather with stitching for the tactile signature, lacquer for architectural color. Remember the hidden luxuries — even the under-top steel is leather-covered.
Order the power with the desk
Specify the electrified bay at order stage; retrofitting contradicts the whole point of a sealed sculptural top. One clean cutout, one closing panel, zero visible cords.
Check the route with the 3D files
Download the drawings from the article page and have building management verify elevators and doorways early — a single-block desk of this scale rewards a delivery plan made on paper.
