Description
The Cattelan Italia Orlando Coffee Table is a lift-top coffee table with an organic asymmetric top and a fixed Black Embossed lacquered steel base. The top lifts from a closed position of 32h cm (95×114 cm plan) to an extended position of 65h cm (103×114 cm plan) via a precision hinge-and-arm mechanism — transforming from a low lounge surface to a comfortable working or dining height from a seated position. The top is available in five finishes: Brushed Bronze, Brushed Grey, Canaletto Walnut, Burned Oak, and Elm Open Pore Matt Black. The base is fixed at Black Embossed across all top finish choices. Ships in 2 parcels — a lightweight organic top panel (106×123×6 cm, 15.50 kg) and a heavy base assembly (75×56×38 cm, 52.50 kg) containing the lift mechanism — 68 kg total. Made in Italy by Cattelan Italia.
Key Features
- Lift-Top Mechanism — 32 cm to 65 cm: The Orlando's concealed precision hinge-and-lift-arm system raises the top smoothly from 32h cm (closed, low lounge position) to 65h cm (extended, seated working/dining position). The mechanism is housed within the base assembly — the 52.50 kg base parcel weight reflects the substantial mechanical and structural components integrated into the base unit. The top also shifts slightly in plan when extended: width expands from 95 cm to 103 cm as the lift arms deploy.
- Organic Asymmetric Top: The top has a flowing, asymmetric plan outline — neither rectangular nor a clean oval — that creates a distinctly fluid, sculptural character. The organic silhouette is consistent across all five top finishes. The top panel ships at 15.50 kg (106×123×6 cm parcel) — lightweight relative to the 52.50 kg base, indicating a thin-profile top over a mechanism-heavy base.
- Five Top Finishes — One Fixed Base: The top is available in Brushed Bronze, Brushed Grey, Canaletto Walnut, Burned Oak, and Elm Open Pore Matt Black. The base is fixed at Black Embossed lacquered steel across all five top choices — no alternative base finish is available.
- Black Embossed Steel Base — Fixed: The base houses the lift mechanism and anchors the table structurally. The embossed lacquered steel finish provides a tactile, patterned surface that reads as a refined matte black at normal viewing distance. At 52.50 kg it is the dominant weight component in the table.
- Made in Italy — Cattelan Italia: Precision-engineered lift mechanism, organic top in premium wood or metal finishes, and embossed steel base throughout.
Lift-Top Height Range
Positions
32h cm / 12.6"
65h cm / 25.6"
Closed (32h cm, 95×114 cm) — at 32 cm the Orlando sits at the lower end of coffee table height range (standard: 35–45 cm); this gives the table a distinctly low, grounded lounge character when closed — the organic top reads almost as a floating plane close to the floor. The 95 cm width in closed position is the narrower of the two states; the lift arms are folded inward so the plan footprint is slightly more compact. Extended (65h cm, 103×114 cm) — at 65 cm the lifted top sits at the upper range of standard dining/desk height from a seated position (standard seated work height: 70–75 cm). For use from a low sofa or floor-level seat it aligns well as a working surface; from a standard chair it functions as a low side table or snack surface. When extended the width increases to 103 cm as the lift arms push the top outward by 8 cm — the depth (114 cm) remains constant throughout. The 33 cm height range (32→65 cm) is one of the larger lift ranges in the Cattelan Italia coffee table range, providing genuinely different use modes rather than a marginal adjustment.

Top Finish
Brushed Bronze — warm metallic bronze with a directional brushed grain; the warmest and most metallic of the five top options. Pairs with the Black Embossed base for a warm-over-dark contrast. Brushed Grey — cool metallic grey with the same directional brushed finish; tonally cooler than Brushed Bronze and closer in value to the Black Embossed base — a more unified, monochromatic composition. Canaletto Walnut — fine-grained European walnut, warm medium-dark brown with an even straight grain; the most natural and warm of the five finishes, creating a strong material contrast against the matte black base. Burned Oak — deeply charred oak with a darkened, carbon-toned surface; of the two wood finishes the closest in tone to the Black Embossed base — the table reads as a near-tonal composition in Burned Oak + Black. Elm Open Pore Matt Black — matt black elm with an open-pore surface that preserves the visible wood grain texture beneath the black finish; where Burned Oak's darkness is from the char process, Elm Open Pore Matt Black's darkness is from the pigment — the grain pattern and open-pore texture remain clearly visible.
Black Embossed
Base — Fixed
Black Embossed lacquered steel — fixed across all five top finish choices. The embossed surface adds a fine tactile texture that softens the flat-mirror quality of a plain black lacquer. The base houses the full lift mechanism and ships at 52.50 kg — significantly heavier than the 15.50 kg top panel, reflecting the structural and mechanical components integrated within.
Materials & Construction
Lift-Top Mechanism
Precision hinges and lift arms integrated within the base assembly allow smooth, tool-free height adjustment from 32 to 65 cm — a 33 cm lift range. The mechanism also shifts the top's plan width from 95 cm (closed) to 103 cm (extended) as the arms deploy. The base parcel (75×56×38 cm, 52.50 kg) contains the full mechanical assembly; the top panel (106×123×6 cm, 15.50 kg) is lightweight and thin-profile.
Organic Top — 5 Finishes
The asymmetric organic top is available in two metallic finishes (Brushed Bronze, Brushed Grey) and three wood finishes (Canaletto Walnut, Burned Oak, Elm Open Pore Matt Black). All five share the same plan outline and parcel dimensions. At 15.50 kg the top panel accounts for only 23% of the 68 kg total weight — the mechanism-heavy base is the dominant structural element.
Black Embossed Steel Base
Fixed Black Embossed lacquered steel base — the sole base finish available across all top choices. The embossed pattern creates a tactile patterned surface that reads as refined matte black at normal viewing distance. At 52.50 kg it is the dominant weight component and the structural housing for the lift mechanism. Two-person handling recommended for installation.
Dimensions
Single table — two positions. Closed: 95×114×32h cm. Extended: 103×114×65h cm. Fixed: Black Embossed base. Configurable: top finish (5 options).
