Trade terms for professionals and design studios

American executive floors usually pick between wood veneer and glass. Planeta by DVO Office, a modern executive desk, puts five materials on the table — literally. The declared range of tops runs from melamine in «Maroncelli» walnut and three oaks to scratch-resistant gloss laminate edged in methacrylate, real leather with grey stitching, acid-etched tempered glass, and porcelain stoneware bonded to glass in «extra-white» or «marquina». Same system, same ring leg — or the service-unit composition up to 97.4 in — five different presences in the corner office.

That menu is a practical tool: the CEO’s desk, the CFO’s and the boardroom can share one design language while each surface does a different job — laminate where use is heaviest, stoneware where the desk must impress, leather where it must welcome. Designed by Antonio Morello, the collection extends into meeting tables and universal storage, so the material choice carries through the whole floor. La Mercanti handles the specification and the ocean in between, one coordinated order for the U.S. project.

FAQ

Which top materials does DVO declare for Planeta?
Five: melamine (Maroncelli walnut, light, dark or tobacco oak, matt black MDF), white gloss scratch-resistant laminate with methacrylate edges, 2 mm leather in white, black or dark brown with grey stitching, 10 mm acid-etched tempered glass, and 6 mm porcelain stoneware bonded to 8 mm tempered glass.
How is the stoneware top of Planeta actually built?
It is a sandwich: a 6 mm porcelain stoneware layer bonded to 8 mm transparent tempered glass, with aluminium fixing rings glued underneath. Finishes are extra-white and marquina, and DVO declares that the shade varies from batch to batch.
Does the leather version need special care from day one?
It is declared as 2 mm leather — white, black or dark brown — over an 18 mm core, with grey stitching. Ask La Mercanti for the manufacturer’s care indications for your finish before specifying it for heavy-use desks.
Can different Planeta desks in one office use different tops?
Yes, and that is the point of the range: the frame, leg and service unit stay identical while each office picks its surface. The finish language stays coherent across the floor.
What warranty does DVO declare on Planeta?
Eight years, as stated by the manufacturer. La Mercanti passes the declared terms through with the order documents.
