Description
The Cattelan Italia Lingotto Coffee Table is a two-component coffee table — a Canaletto Walnut wooden top resting on twin Transparent Methacrylate bases. Both components are fixed with no alternative finishes. The Lingotto is available in two heights: Version A at 40h cm and Version B at 30h cm — both sharing the same 120×60 cm plan footprint. Both versions ship in 2 parcels (top + base) at identical dimensions and weight (33 kg total, 0.27 m³). Made in Italy by Cattelan Italia.
Key Features
- Two Fixed Components — Canaletto Walnut Top + Transparent Methacrylate Base: The Lingotto is a single-configuration design — the warm, fine-grained Canaletto Walnut top and the twin clear methacrylate bases are both fixed with no alternative materials or finishes available. The design's character is defined by the deliberate material contrast: dense, warm wood above; weightless, transparent acrylic below.
- Two Heights — Same Plan, Different Profile: Version A (40h cm) sits closer to standard sofa seat height, functioning as a conventional coffee table surface. Version B (30h cm) is lower-profile, suited to deep or low-slung contemporary seating where a 30 cm surface aligns better with the seating plane. Both share the 120×60 cm top and identical parcel dimensions and weight.
- Canaletto Walnut Top — 120 × 60 cm: Canaletto Walnut is a fine-grained European walnut variety with a warm, medium-dark brown tone and a characteristically straight, even grain — distinct from more figured or wild-grain walnuts. The surface is finished to a smooth, tactile quality that highlights the natural warmth of the wood.
- Twin Transparent Methacrylate Bases: Two slender methacrylate (acrylic) bases support the walnut top — their transparency creates a visual floating effect, allowing the warm walnut top to appear suspended. The methacrylate base parcel (44×25×4 cm, 3 kg) is extremely compact and lightweight relative to the top — the bases contribute only 3 of the 33 kg total weight.
- Made in Italy — Cattelan Italia: Precision-finished Canaletto Walnut top and clear methacrylate bases throughout.
Versions
40h cm / 15.7"
30h cm / 11.8"
Version A (40h cm) — at 40 cm, the Lingotto A sits at the upper end of standard coffee table height; it is closer to the seat height of conventional upholstered sofas (typically 42–48 cm seat height), making it convenient for placing and retrieving items from a seated position. The 40 cm height also gives the walnut top more visual presence and separation from the floor, allowing the transparent methacrylate bases to be seen more fully in elevation. Version B (30h cm) — at 30 cm, the Lingotto B is low-profile by conventional standards; it suits deep, low-slung contemporary sofas or floor-level lounge setups where a 40 cm surface would feel disproportionately tall relative to the seating. At 30 cm the table reads as a very horizontal, grounded form — the walnut slab appears closer to the floor and the methacrylate bases are proportionally shorter. Both versions share identical top and base parcels — the 10 cm height difference is accommodated within the same box dimensions.
Finish Options
Both components are fixed — no alternatives available in either element.
Canaletto Walnut
Top — Fixed
Canaletto Walnut is a fine-grained European walnut with a warm, medium-dark brown tone and an even, characteristically straight grain. Fixed across both versions — the warmth and grain character of the walnut is the dominant material statement of the Lingotto.
Transparent Methacrylate
Base — Fixed
Twin clear methacrylate (acrylic) bases — fixed across both versions. Their transparency creates a floating visual effect, allowing the walnut top to appear suspended above the floor. At 3 kg the base parcel is extremely lightweight relative to the 30 kg walnut top parcel — the bases contribute just 9% of the total 33 kg shipping weight.
Materials & Construction
Canaletto Walnut Top
120×60 cm Canaletto Walnut — a fine-grained European walnut variety with warm, medium-dark brown tone and an even, straight grain. The top parcel (129×31×66 cm, 30 kg) is the dominant component in both dimensions and weight, accounting for 91% of the total shipping weight. The same top parcel is used for both Version A and Version B.
Transparent Methacrylate Bases
Two clear methacrylate bases ship together in a single flat parcel (44×25×4 cm, 3 kg) — the most compact base parcel in the Cattelan Italia coffee table range by volume. The transparency of the acrylic creates a visual floating effect; the bases are structurally rigid despite their lightweight and slender profile.
Two Heights — Identical Plan
Version A (40h cm) and Version B (30h cm) share an identical 120×60 cm plan, identical top parcel, identical base parcel, and identical total weight (33 kg). The only difference is the height of the methacrylate base units. Both versions ship at 0.27 m³ in 2 parcels — the height difference is fully accommodated within the same packaging format.
