S•CAB covers the whole contract floor, not one product line
Hospitality and corporate projects rarely fail on the hero piece; they fail on the twenty items nobody planned. S•CAB covers that gap with a single catalogue: chairs, small armchairs and stools, tables and bases, coffee tables, sofas and decor accessories, for indoor and outdoor alike. The company has specialised in seating since the 1960s — founded in 1957 near Brescia — and manufactures across three Italian plants totalling 85,000 square metres, with ISO 9001 quality certification and CATAS-tested products.
La Mercanti quotes, ships and installs the brand for American offices and hospitality sites. One manufacturer for the lobby, the terrace and the meeting rooms means one lead time to manage instead of five.
FAQ
Does the catalogue cover outdoor areas too?
Yes — indoor and outdoor lines sit in the same catalogue, which matters for hotels, restaurants and corporate campuses where the lounge continues onto a terrace. Outdoor materials include nautical rope in fully recyclable, non-toxic polyester alongside plastic, steel, wood and textiles. Using one manufacturer across both keeps the visual language continuous where guests actually move. Suitability for each specific line is confirmed on the manufacturer's documentation.
What supports the quality claim on high-traffic pieces?
The company holds ISO 9001:2015 for quality management and ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management, both issued by BVCER under ACCREDIA accreditation, and it is a CATAS member whose products have passed that institute's testing. Wood and paper components are FSC® certified, and the Go Green line carries ICMQ certification for regenerated plastic. Certificates download directly from each product page.
Furnishing a contract project with S•CAB: five steps
For designers, purchasing managers and A&D teams working across multiple room types.
Inventory every seat, not every room
Count chairs, stools and lounge pieces by zone before choosing anything. On contract volumes, stacking, handling and replacement availability outrank finish selection.
Split indoor from outdoor early
Mark which positions face sun, salt or rain and assign the outdoor lines there. Mixing the two is the most common reason hospitality projects age badly.
Standardise on one design language
Anchor the scheme in a single family and vary only where function genuinely changes. Guests read coherence instantly, and so do photographers.
Approve the repeated finishes physically
Get samples for the colours and fabrics that will appear dozens of times. Sample costs are fully credited back when the order is confirmed.
Phase delivery to match the opening
We agree the sequence — which areas land first, who receives on site, how packaging is handled. Delivery dates are confirmed in writing at order confirmation.
