Description
The Cattelan Italia Carrè Coffee Table is a large-format all-glass square coffee table — 140 × 140 × 33.5h cm — constructed entirely from precision-cut, chamfered, and bonded Clear Glass panels that form a monolithic, architecturally transparent structure. The Carrè is available in two configurations: glass frame only, or with an optional polished stainless steel insert tray (70 × 66.5 cm, 3 cm deep) that sits inset within the glass surface, introducing a mirror-polished metallic accent to the composition. The all-glass construction creates a uniquely light visual presence at a scale — 140 cm square — that would read as visually heavy in any opaque material; the transparency distributes the table's footprint across the room without blocking light, sightlines, or the visual field beneath and around it. The optional tray introduces a controlled material contrast — polished steel against clear glass — and provides a defined, reflective platform within the broad glass surface for serving, display, or organisation. Made in Italy by Cattelan Italia.
Key Features
- All-Glass Monolithic Construction: The Carrè is built entirely from Clear Glass — top surface, body panels, and structural joints — precision-cut and bonded to create a single coherent transparent form. At 140 × 140 cm, the all-glass construction is the critical design decision: it allows the table to occupy a very large footprint in a room without creating visual mass or blocking the sense of openness in the space around it.
- Optional Polished Stainless Steel Tray: A removable polished stainless steel insert tray — 70 × 66.5 cm, 3 cm depth — sits inset within the glass surface. It introduces the only non-glass material element in the Carrè's composition: mirror-polished steel that reflects and amplifies ambient light from the room above it, and creates a defined platform for objects placed on the table's surface. The tray is fully removable — the table functions equally well without it.
- 140 × 140 cm Square Footprint: The Carrè's 140 cm square format is the largest standard configuration in the Cattelan Italia glass coffee table range — suited to large sectional sofas, oversized seating groups, and spacious open-plan rooms where a smaller table would read as under-scaled relative to the surrounding furniture. At this size, the all-glass construction is particularly consequential — no opaque material at 140 cm square would preserve the room's sense of openness in the way that the clear glass structure does.
- Low-Lounge Profile — 33.5 cm: At 33.5 cm height, the Carrè sits at the lower end of coffee table heights — well suited to deep, low-profile modular sofas and lounge seating where a conventional height table would rise disproportionately above the cushion line.
- Made in Italy — Cattelan Italia: Precision-manufactured by Cattelan Italia in Italy, with exacting standards applied to the glass cutting, chamfering, bonding, and finishing throughout.
Configurations
33.5h cm / 13.2"
Tray depth: 3 cm / 1.2"
The glass frame only configuration is the purest expression of the Carrè's design intent — a fully transparent, monolithic square form with no material interruption across the glass surface. In this configuration the table reads as a single continuous plane of glass from above, and as a transparent architectural structure from the side. The with optional tray configuration introduces the polished stainless steel insert as a considered compositional element — it does not diminish the transparency of the table, but rather creates a focal point within the broad glass surface, defining a zone of reflectivity and material contrast within the larger transparent plane. The tray is sized at 70 × 66.5 cm — large enough to read as a significant presence within the 140 cm surface, but leaving substantial glass visible on all sides around it.
Materials & Finishes
The entire table structure — top surface, body panels, and all joints — is produced in Clear Glass.
Clear Glass
Frame — All Panels
The Clear Glass used throughout the Carrè is tempered and precision-cut, with chamfered edges at all joints and exposed surfaces. The transparency is complete — there is no tinting, coating, or surface treatment that modifies the glass's optical clarity. At the Carrè's scale (140 cm square), the fully transparent construction creates a uniquely open visual presence: the floor surface, objects placed beneath, and the space around the table remain fully visible through the glass panels, preventing the table from creating visual mass or division within the room.
The optional tray is produced in polished stainless steel — removable, not fixed.
Polished Stainless Steel
Optional Tray Only
Mirror-polished stainless steel — the most reflective metal surface finish available — creates a high-contrast material dialogue with the surrounding glass. Where the glass is fully transparent and visually passive, the polished steel tray is reflective and visually active, capturing and redistributing ambient light from above and around the table. At 70 × 66.5 cm and 3 cm deep, the tray provides a shallow, defined platform within the glass surface — its perimeter is clearly articulated against the glass without requiring any frame or border element. Fully removable: the glass surface is complete and continuous without it.
Materials & Construction
All-Glass Monolithic Structure
The Carrè's body — top panel, side panels, and internal structural elements — is constructed entirely from tempered clear glass, precision-cut to tolerances that allow seamless bonded joints with no visible gaps or misalignment. The chamfered edges at all exposed surfaces soften the visual sharpness of the cut glass and catch light at an angle, creating a subtle luminous edge detail that is particularly visible at the table's corners and perimeter from close range.
Polished Stainless Steel Tray
The optional insert tray is fabricated from stainless steel with a mirror-polished surface finish — the highest available grade of steel surface reflectivity. It sits within a defined recess in the glass surface and is designed to be lifted out and repositioned or removed entirely without tools. The tray's shallow 3 cm depth is intentional — it provides enough definition to clearly delineate the tray from the glass surface without raising objects placed within it significantly above the surrounding glass plane.
Scale, Transparency & Room Impact
At 140 × 140 × 33.5h cm, the Carrè is a genuinely large coffee table — its 140 cm square footprint is substantial relative to most residential and hospitality seating groups. The decision to construct it entirely from clear glass is what makes this scale viable in a wide range of spaces: the transparency prevents the table from creating visual mass, shadow, or division within the room, and allows the floor surface beneath it to remain fully visible, maintaining the sense of openness in the space. The optional tray, when present, does not interrupt this — it sits within the glass plane rather than above it.
