Description
The Cattelan Italia Caesar Coffee Table is a low-profile rectangular ceramic-top coffee table with a distinctive angled trapezoidal metal base — a geometric form that provides both structural stability and sculptural character. Available in two lengths — 90 × 50 × 38h cm and 118 × 50 × 38h cm — Caesar is suited to a range of seating configurations, from intimate single-sofa arrangements to extended open-plan lounge groups. The ceramic top is offered in four finishes: Matt Portoro, Matt Borghini Calacatta, Colosseo, and Taj Mahal — all produced in high-performance sintered ceramic with matte surface treatment. The trapezoidal base is available in Titanium Embossed or Bronze Embossed lacquered steel. At 38 cm height, Caesar sits at a relaxed low-lounge elevation that keeps sightlines open and positions the ceramic surface comfortably within the seating group. Made in Italy by Cattelan Italia.
Key Features
- Trapezoidal Angled Base: The defining structural and visual element of the Caesar — a trapezoidal form in Titanium Embossed or Bronze Embossed lacquered steel that angles outward from the top connection to a wider floor stance, providing stability with a sculptural, architectural silhouette that reads distinctively from all viewing angles.
- Sintered Ceramic Top — Four Finishes: The rectangular top is produced in high-performance sintered ceramic — dense, non-porous, with excellent resistance to scratches, heat, UV, and staining — in Matt Portoro, Matt Borghini Calacatta, Colosseo, and Taj Mahal. All four finishes are available in both sizes.
- Two Length Options — Same Depth and Height: The 90 × 50 cm format is well proportioned for single-sofa settings and more compact lounge arrangements; the 118 × 50 cm format extends the surface generously for larger seating groups. Both are 38 cm high and 50 cm deep — the shared depth creates a consistent visual rhythm when the two sizes are paired in the same space.
- Low-Lounge Profile — 38 cm: At 38 cm height, Caesar positions the ceramic surface within the lower range of coffee table heights — particularly suited to deep, low-profile sofas and modular seating systems where a conventional height table would read as disproportionately tall within the seating group.
- Made in Italy — Cattelan Italia: Precision-manufactured in Italy with artisanal care and premium materials throughout.
Sizes
38h cm / 15.0"
38h cm / 15.0"
Both sizes share an identical 50 cm depth and 38 cm height — the only variable is length. The 90 cm format reads as a considered, refined accent within tighter lounge arrangements; at this length the trapezoidal base is proportionally prominent relative to the top, and the table's sculptural character is at its most compact and precise. The 118 cm format extends the surface area meaningfully — at 118 × 50 cm the table provides a generous functional platform for a full seating group, and the elongated horizontal ceramic surface gives the base geometry more visual room to breathe across its span. The two sizes can also be paired — placed end to end or arranged as a staggered pair — with their matching depth and height creating a coherent double-table composition.
Finish Options
Four sintered ceramic finishes — all in matte surface treatment, available in both the 90 cm and 118 cm sizes.

Matt Borghini Calacatta

Colosseo

Taj Mahal
Ceramic Top
Matt Portoro — deep black ground with bold gold veining in a matte surface; the most graphically dramatic of the four options, creating maximum contrast with both base finish options. Most striking at the 118 cm length where the full veining pattern extends across the wider span. Matt Borghini Calacatta — pale grey-white with fine grey veining in matte; the most classical marble reference in the palette, restrained and precisely elegant. Works most naturally with Titanium Embossed for a fully cool, monochromatic composition. Colosseo — warm beige-grey with dense veining; versatile and grounded, the most universally adaptable of the four options — pairs comfortably with both Titanium and Bronze Embossed bases across warm and cool interior palettes. Taj Mahal — warm creamy white with soft flowing veining; luminous and refined, the flowing organic pattern creates a gentle movement across the rectangular surface — pairs most naturally with Bronze Embossed for a cohesive warm, organic composition.
Two embossed lacquered steel options for the trapezoidal base and feet — consistent across both sizes.
Titanium Embossed
Base Finish
Bronze Embossed
Base Finish
The trapezoidal base is the Caesar's defining formal element — the base finish choice determines the entire tonal register of the composition. Titanium Embossed — cool micro-textured titanium tone, precise and industrially refined; the embossed texture introduces subtle surface complexity while maintaining a restrained contemporary character. Creates a cool, considered composition with Colosseo and Borghini Calacatta tops. Bronze Embossed — warm amber micro-textured surface; the most materially rich and approachable of the two options, integrating most naturally into warm residential and hospitality interiors. Creates a warm, cohesive composition with Taj Mahal and Colosseo tops, and a bold warm-dark contrast with Matt Portoro.
Materials & Construction
Sintered Ceramic Top
The rectangular top is produced in sintered ceramic — formed under extreme heat and pressure from natural minerals into a dense, non-porous surface. All four finishes are produced in matte surface treatment, which diffuses light evenly across the top and maintains the natural, stone-like character of each ceramic's veining pattern without the reflectivity of a gloss surface. The ceramic is highly resistant to scratches, heat, UV exposure, and household staining — suited to everyday use without specialist maintenance.
Two-Size System
The Caesar's two sizes — 90 and 118 cm in length — share an identical 50 cm depth and 38 cm height, which means both can be combined in the same space without creating visual inconsistency. Pairing the 90 and 118 cm versions in the same seating arrangement — in matching or contrasting ceramic finishes — creates a layered, considered coffee table composition that reads as intentional rather than mismatched. Both sizes are available in all ceramic top and base finish combinations without restriction.
