Cattelan Italia: the conference table as a statement piece
American executive floors have learned what Italian living rooms always knew: the table makes the room. Cattelan Italia — family-run in Carrè, Veneto, since 1979, exporting to over 140 countries — builds exactly that kind of table: sculptural bases under tops of ceramic, marble or crystal, in pieces like Skorpio Keramik and Spyder that turn a conference room into the space clients photograph. Founder Giorgio Cattelan put the philosophy plainly — «beauty, to me, is above all function» — and son Paolo has led the house since 2014, with hand-brushed lacquers and premium leathers rounding out the material palette.
La Mercanti brings Cattelan Italia to US boardrooms and executive lounges — white-glove, coordinated with the whole floor.
FAQ
Why choose a design table over a contract conference table?
Because the boardroom is a stage: a sculptural base and a ceramic or marble top say more about the company than any wall graphic — while seating a full meeting just as well.
How do ceramic tops handle daily executive use?
Ceramic is the practical face of luxury: scratch- and heat-resistant, easy to live with, which is why Skorpio Keramik style pieces migrate so naturally from dining rooms to boardrooms.
How to design an executive floor people talk about
Five moves that separate a C-suite from a nice open plan.
Anchor with the table
One sculptural piece sets the tone for the entire floor.
Mix residential and workplace
Living-grade pieces in work settings signal confidence.
Choose surfaces that survive
Ceramic tops take coffee, laptops and years of meetings.
Light the base
Sculpture needs shadow: plan lighting around the table, not just above it.
Deliver white-glove
Large tops and stone demand professional handling to the last mile.
