Description
The Cattelan Italia Penguin Coffee Table – Fast Delivery is a fixed single-configuration version of the Penguin accent table: Ø29×48h cm (Short) in Titanium Embossed lacquered steel — dispatched in 4–6 weeks compared to the standard 8–10 week production lead time. The entire table — tapered body, top surface, and base — is constructed from embossed lacquered steel in one unified finish. Ships as one parcel (33×33×60 cm, 0.07 m³, 8.50 kg). For the Tall version (Ø29×55h) or Bronze Embossed finish, the full Penguin range applies at standard lead time. Made in Italy by Cattelan Italia.
Key Features
- Fast Delivery — 4–6 Weeks: Fixed as Ø29×48h + Titanium Embossed to enable a 4–6 week dispatch window vs 8–10 weeks for the full standard range. The Short (48h cm) in Titanium Embossed is the sole fast delivery configuration — no alternative size or finish is available within this programme.
- Ø29×48h cm — Short Version: At Ø29 cm diameter and 48h cm height, the Short Penguin has a height-to-diameter ratio of approximately 1.7:1 — a strongly vertical but not fully columnar proportion. At 48 cm it sits below standard sofa armrest height (armrests typically 55–65 cm) — functioning as a low side surface for a glass, remote, or small items beside a sofa or armchair.
- Titanium Embossed — Fixed: A cool, mid-grey metallic embossed lacquered steel finish covering the full table. The embossed surface creates a fine relief pattern across the steel, adding tactile depth and reducing the flat-mirror quality of a plain lacquer. The cool neutral tone of Titanium Embossed is compatible with a wide range of interior palettes — a practical choice for a fixed fast delivery selection.
- Single-Component Construction: The Penguin is a monolithic tapered steel form — no separate top panel or base component. Ships as one complete unit in a single parcel (33×33×60 cm, 8.50 kg). One-person deliverable.
- Made in Italy — Cattelan Italia: Same materials and construction as the full Penguin range — embossed lacquered steel throughout — with no compromise to craftsmanship in the fast delivery programme.

Ø29×48h cm — Short in context: The Short Penguin at 48 cm height sits at the lower end of standard side table height range (typical side tables: 45–65 cm); it pairs well with low contemporary sofas and armchairs where the seat height is 35–45 cm, placing the top surface approximately at the same level as the seat cushion or just above. The Ø29 cm diameter is compact enough to fit beside most armchair legs without projecting into the room. Why Titanium Embossed for Fast Delivery: The cool, tonally neutral character of Titanium Embossed makes it the most universally compatible finish in the Penguin range — it integrates with dark, light, warm, and cool interior palettes without requiring colour coordination. This neutrality makes it the practical fixed-finish choice for a fast delivery programme, in the same way Extra White glass + Matt White base was selected for the Pat fast delivery programme — both are the most universally deployable configurations in their respective ranges.
Finish — Fixed for Fast Delivery
Single fixed finish — Titanium Embossed covers the full table. For Bronze Embossed, see the full Penguin range.
Titanium Embossed
Fixed · Fast Delivery
Titanium Embossed — a cool, mid-grey metallic embossed lacquered steel finish applied uniformly across the full tapered body. The embossed surface pattern creates a fine tactile relief that adds depth to the grey metallic tone and reduces flat reflections. Fixed at this finish for the fast delivery programme — the same embossed pattern and steel construction as the full Penguin range, with no variation in material quality.
