Giorgio Cattelan grew up in his father&#8217;s workshop, breathing wood and craftsmanship; Silvia brings order, culture, the ability to keep vision and organization together. In 1979 that balance became a business: the brand was born, with a vocation that immediately looked beyond the local market. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"478\" data-end=\"973\"> At the beginning they were tables in marble and crystal: objects that immediately put the &#8220;presence&#8221; of the materials at the centre, worked with techniques that were clearly contemporary for the time and with a recognizable stylistic imprint. Exports soon accelerated and in 1982 the first factory arrived in Carr\u00e9, in the Vicenza district: a transition that marked the transformation from a laboratory to an industrial structure capable of growing without losing control over the product. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"975\" data-end=\"1561\"> From then on, international expansion is built as a strong identity is built: presence in the best showrooms, fairs, sector publications, and a collection that over time stops being &#8220;just&#8221; a series of pieces and becomes a complete language for the living area. The second generation enters the company with Paolo and Lorenzo; in 2011 the acquisition of Arketipo also arrived in Florence to preside over the world of upholstery; in 2012 the Carr\u00e9 showroom was redesigned as a scenographic space; Paolo has been leading the brand since 2014. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1563\" data-end=\"1848\"> Today Cattelan Italia moves on a global scale, with a widespread distribution (over 140 countries) and with a &#8220;total look&#8221; logic that allows you to design a complete environment, coherent in the finishes and in the references between shapes, surfaces and details. <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1850\" data-end=\"1903\"> The Keramik turning point: when matter becomes a signature <\/h2>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-Italia-KERAMIK.jpg\" alt=\"Cattelan Italia KERAMIK\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-Italia-KERAMIK.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-Italia-KERAMIK-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-Italia-KERAMIK-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-Italia-KERAMIK-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-Italia-KERAMIK-370x247.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/> <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1905\" data-end=\"2316\"> There are times when a marche finds a material and that material, more than a finish, becomes an identity. For Cattelan Italia that transition coincides with the Keramik collection: the search for a surface that is both functional and scenographic leads to a new aesthetic, more material, more &#8220;architectural&#8221;, capable of bringing everyday life and visual impact together. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2318\" data-end=\"2840\"> Within this turning point there is a name that often returns because it functioned as a turning point: <strong data-start=\"2411\" data-end=\"2430\"> Skorpio Keramik <\/strong>, indicated by the brand as the symbolic model of the collection and stylistic icon. The reason is also interesting for those who design: a table is no longer just a top with legs, but an object that supports the space, structures it, &#8220;signs&#8221; it. Ceramic, with its vibrations and depth, helps to give the living room an authoritative center without falling into the rhetoric of luxury. <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2842\" data-end=\"2888\"> The Cattelan Italia style in 5 visual codes <\/h2>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11064\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-Libreria.jpg\" alt=\"Cattelan Libreria\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-Libreria.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-Libreria-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-Libreria-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-Libreria-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-Libreria-370x247.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/> <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2890\" data-end=\"3099\"> <strong data-start=\"2890\" data-end=\"2922\"> 1) Material as protagonist <\/strong> <br data-start=\"2922\" data-end=\"2925\" \/> Marble, crystal, ceramics: here the surface is never neutral. The choice of materials is as much a part of the project as the shape, because it builds atmosphere, reflections and density. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3101\" data-end=\"3268\"> <strong data-start=\"3101\" data-end=\"3129\"> 2) \u0093Designed\u0094 structures <\/strong> <br data-start=\"3129\" data-end=\"3132\" \/> The support often becomes a graphic gesture: bases, intersections, cuts and geometries that act as a skeleton and a sign, not just a function. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3270\" data-end=\"3434\"> <strong data-start=\"3270\" data-end=\"3298\"> 3) Controlled contrasts <\/strong> <br data-start=\"3298\" data-end=\"3301\" \/> Glossy\/opaque, warm\/cold, full\/empty: contemporary is achieved with tensions kept in balance, rather than with special effects. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3436\" data-end=\"3638\"> <strong data-start=\"3436\" data-end=\"3489\"> 4) Living room volumes as domestic architecture <\/strong> <br data-start=\"3489\" data-end=\"3492\" \/> Sideboards, bookcases, containers: not just storage, but masses and elevations that work with the wall and light, like small architectural fronts. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3640\" data-end=\"4012\"> <strong data-start=\"3640\" data-end=\"3686\"> 5) \u0093ductile\u0094 and customizable collection <\/strong> <br data-start=\"3686\" data-end=\"3689\" \/> The sense of the system emerges from the variety of finishes and processes: transparent or decorated crystals, shaped wood, ceramics, lacquered and brushed, coverings and leather. It is this combinatorics that allows different environments to be held together within a single coherence of language. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4014\" data-end=\"4348\"> From here we understand why some pieces become recognisable: when an object manages to solve a real need (function, proportion, duration) and at the same time bear a stable aesthetic sign. In the next block we enter into <strong data-start=\"4244\" data-end=\"4261\"> iconic pieces <\/strong> starting from the most &#8220;Cattelan&#8221; theme of all: <strong data-start=\"4305\" data-end=\"4347\"> the table as living room architecture <\/strong> . <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"41\"> The table as living room architecture <\/h2>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11066\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-SKORPIO.jpg\" alt=\"Cattelan SKORPIO\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-SKORPIO.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-SKORPIO-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-SKORPIO-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-SKORPIO-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Cattelan-SKORPIO-370x247.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/> <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"43\" data-end=\"256\"> In the Cattelan Italia lexicon, the table is not a &#8220;piece&#8221; among others: it is the object that organizes the space. This is where we understand the difference between simply beautiful furniture and furniture that <em data-start=\"236\" data-end=\"243\"> supports <\/em> an environment. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"258\" data-end=\"973\"> A first archetype is that of the base as a sign: structures that do not simply support, but design a geometry that is recognizable even from a distance.  <strong data-start=\"414\" data-end=\"425\"> Skorpio <\/strong> was born exactly like this: the brand describes it as a model that &#8220;launched a new concept of table&#8221; and has become an icon of modern living, evolving over time in multiple versions.  <br data-start=\"649\" data-end=\"652\" \/> The <strong data-start=\"664\" data-end=\"683\"> Skorpio Keramik family <\/strong> takes that gesture into the territory of matter: steel base with \u0093embossed\u0094 finishes and variants such as titanium, bronze, graphite, pearl or black, as well as brushed options; above, theceramic works as a scenic surface, with depth and vibration. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"975\" data-end=\"1459\"> The second archetype is more essential, but equally effective: a &#8220;simple&#8221; shape that becomes powerful thanks to proportions and finishes.  <strong data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1123\"> Spyder <\/strong> lives by this logic: X-shaped base in steel, designed to reflect light, and a family that changes skin without changing identity \u0097 glass in the basic version, wood in Spyder Wood, ceramic in Spyder Keramik; up to the Premium variants with more sophisticated processing on the edges and round versions. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1461\" data-end=\"1521\"> In practice, these two worlds solve two different needs: <\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1522\" data-end=\"1729\">\n<li data-start=\"1522\" data-end=\"1625\">\n<p data-start=\"1524\" data-end=\"1625\"> when you want a \u0093sculptural\u0094 center of gravity, go for a structure that <em data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1604\"> draws <\/em> space (Skorpio); <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1729\">\n<p data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1729\"> when you want a table that stands out with elegance, you work on the X-base, finishes and top (Spyder). <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-start=\"1731\" data-end=\"1781\"> Sideboards and containers: volumes that make the wall <\/h2>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11067\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cattelan-italia-kayak-madia.jpg\" alt=\"cattelan italia kayak madia\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cattelan-italia-kayak-madia.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cattelan-italia-kayak-madia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cattelan-italia-kayak-madia-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cattelan-italia-kayak-madia-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/cattelan-italia-kayak-madia-370x247.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/> <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1783\" data-end=\"2049\"> Cattelan Italia sideboards have a characteristic that comes back often: they are not designed as pure storage, but as volumes that <em data-start=\"1906\" data-end=\"1920\"> build <\/em> the wall. It is a very current way of designing, because it transforms a functional element into a point of domestic architecture. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2051\" data-end=\"2551\"> <strong data-start=\"2051\" data-end=\"2060\"> Kayak <\/strong> is a clear example of this approach: it is presented as a sideboard with an eclectic and sculptural design, also suitable for contract projects, with evident research into the finishes (Brushed Bronze and Brushed Grey) designed precisely to create &#8220;kaleidoscopic&#8221; plays of light.  <br data-start=\"2370\" data-end=\"2373\" \/> Here the difference is made by the details: the brushed finish is not a &#8220;colour&#8221;, it is a texture; and the way it receives light changes the perception of volume during the day. <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2553\" data-end=\"2619\"> Reflections, textures, light: when the surface becomes atmosphere <\/h2>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11071\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tavolo-atrium.jpg\" alt=\"tavolo atrium\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tavolo-atrium.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tavolo-atrium-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tavolo-atrium-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tavolo-atrium-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/tavolo-atrium-370x247.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/> <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2621\" data-end=\"3229\"> There is a more rarefied and scenographic trend that passes through glass and the theme of reflection. The <strong data-start=\"2721\" data-end=\"2731\"> Atrium <\/strong> family, for example, works on mirrored surfaces and on a three-dimensional &#8220;couture&#8221; process that recalls the quilted effect: the result is a soft reflection, not that of a pure mirror, which absorbs the environment and returns it with depth.  <br data-start=\"3009\" data-end=\"3012\" \/> It&#8217;s a detail to keep in mind when designing: reflective surfaces don&#8217;t just amplify light, they also amplify what&#8217;s around them (including clutter).

Airport is designed exactly like this: customizable modular system, also freestanding as a room divider.  <br data-start=\"2342\" data-end=\"2345\" \/> It is one of those cases in which furniture stops being an object and becomes a domestic infrastructure. <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2447\" data-end=\"2503\"> Surfaces and details that change the final result <\/h2>\n<h3 data-start=\"2505\" data-end=\"2532\"> Brushed: beautiful, but alive <\/h3>\n<p> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11094\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BRUSCHED-TAVOLINO.jpg\" alt=\"BRUSCHED TAVOLINO\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BRUSCHED-TAVOLINO.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BRUSCHED-TAVOLINO-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BRUSCHED-TAVOLINO-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BRUSCHED-TAVOLINO-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.archieinteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/BRUSCHED-TAVOLINO-370x247.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/> <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2533\" data-end=\"2840\"> Kayak is a good reminder: the brand specifies that variations in color and brushing are characteristics of craftsmanship (not defects).  <br data-start=\"2726\" data-end=\"2729\" \/> Translated into the project: it must be foreseen that the surface &#8220;moves&#8221; with the light, and must be placed in an orderly context. <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2842\" data-end=\"2895\"> Mirrored glass (smoky \/ bronze) and 3D processing <\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2896\" data-end=\"3161\"> Atrium returns here too: the quilted effect on the glass creates softer and deeper reflections than a flat mirror.  <br data-start=\"3057\" data-end=\"3060\" \/> It works a lot when the wall is clean and the lighting is studied (wall washer or lateral points). <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3163\" data-end=\"3200\"> Mirrors as spatial device <\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3201\" data-end=\"3496\"> Cosmos is presented as a mirror designed by Lorenzo Remedi, with a deliberately &#8220;majestic&#8221; and scenographic narrative.  <br data-start=\"3364\" data-end=\"3367\" \/> In practice: it is a piece that enlarges and theatricalizes, so it must be given breathing space (free wall, distances, quieter nearby furnishings). <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"3498\" data-end=\"3539\"> Hawaii: clean cut, bevelled edge <\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3540\" data-end=\"3830\"> Hawaii is described as a wall mirror in mirrored glass (also smoked or bronze) with bevelled edge and brackets with multiple fixing options.  <br data-start=\"3720\" data-end=\"3723\" \/> It is a simple object only in appearance: the bevel &#8220;turns on&#8221; the light even when the rest is minimal. <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3837\" data-end=\"3861\"> Project checklist <\/h2>\n<ul data-start \n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Made in Italy design , Cattelan Italia is one of those names that naturally recur when talking about contemporary living \u0097 alongside the great Italian brands that have built a recognizable imagination throughout the world.
