Cattelan Italia Boston Desk

The Cattelan Italia Boston Desk — designed by Paolo Cattelan — is a generously proportioned executive writing desk combining a solid wood top with a bold Bronze Embossed metal frame, available in two functional versions: Version A (without drawer) for a clean, open composition, and Version B (with drawer) which optionally accommodates a leather drawer pad for added workspace refinement. At 211 × 100 × 74h cm across both versions, the Boston Desk provides an expansive 211 cm working surface in two warm wood top finishes — Canaletto Walnut and Burned Oak — with a leather desk pad available in 21 Nabuk leather colours across the full spectrum from neutral ivory through deep nero and rich jewel tones. A desk of authoritative scale and material integrity, suited to private home studies, executive offices, and boutique professional environments where the working surface itself is the room's central design statement.

Desk Versions

Version A

WITHOUT DRAWER

Clean, open-plan desk composition with unobstructed visual flow beneath the top. Leather desk pad available in 21 Nabuk leather colours to define the writing surface. Identical 211 × 100 × 74h cm footprint to Version B.

Version B

WITH DRAWER

Adds a discreet integrated drawer unit to the Boston's right-hand side. Includes an optional leather drawer pad interior — select from the same 21 Nabuk leather palette as the desk pad, or leave unpadded. Leather desk pad also available.

Key Features

• Two Functional Versions: Version A (without drawer) for a clean, open composition; Version B (with drawer) adding discreet integrated storage — both sharing the same 211 × 100 × 74h cm footprint and identical material options.
• Generously Proportioned Working Surface: At 211 cm length and 100 cm depth, the Boston provides an expansive, genuinely workable surface suited to executive use — accommodating monitor setups, document spread, and desk accessories without compromise.
• Solid Wood Top — Two Finishes: Canaletto Walnut and Burned Oak — both warm, characterful wood tones that complement the Bronze Embossed metal frame and anchor the desk within residential and professional interior contexts.
• Bronze Embossed Metal Frame: A single, consistent Bronze Embossed metal frame finish applied uniformly across both versions — creating a warm, sophisticated material contrast with both wood top options.
• Leather Desk Pad — 21 Nabuk Colours: An optional leather desk pad available in 21 Nabuk leather colours spanning ivory, neutral, grey, brown, warm, and jewel-tone registers — personalising the working surface with a refined, tactile leather writing surface.
• Optional Leather Drawer Pad (Version B): Version B offers an additional optional leather pad lining the drawer interior — chosen from the same 21-colour Nabuk palette as the desk pad for a fully coordinated finish.
• Made in Italy — Paolo Cattelan: Designed by Paolo Cattelan and manufactured entirely in Italy by Cattelan Italia.

Wood Top Finishes

Two solid wood top finishes — available for both Version A and Version B.

Canaletto Walnut Wood Top Finish

Burned Oak Wood Top Finish

Canaletto Walnut delivers a refined, classic warm-toned wood character — most cohesive with Bronze Embossed in traditional, transitional, and warm-contemporary interior settings. Burned Oak's deeper, more dramatically treated surface adds contemporary intensity — pairing Bronze Embossed with a more raw, characterful material register suited to bold residential and hospitality office environments.

Metal Frame Finish

Single frame finish — Bronze Embossed applied uniformly across both Boston Desk versions.

Bronze Embossed Metal Frame Finish

The Bronze Embossed frame is the Boston's single, definitive metal finish — a warm, antique-inflected metallic texture that creates a rich material dialogue with both Canaletto Walnut and Burned Oak. Its embossed surface catches light with subtle depth, lending the desk a handcrafted quality consistent with Cattelan Italia's premium material standards.

Leather Desk Pad & Drawer Pad Finishes

21 Nabuk leather colours — available for the desk pad (both versions) and the optional drawer pad (Version B only).

The same leather palette applies to both the desk pad and the optional Version B drawer pad — colours can be matched or contrasted between the two surfaces.

Oyster Nabuk Leather

Lino Nabuk Leather

Ice Nabuk Leather

Castoro Nabuk Leather

Argilla Nabuk Leather

Ardesia Nabuk Leather

Nero Nabuk Leather

Tortora Nabuk Leather

Tabacco Nabuk Leather

Testa di moro Nabuk Leather

Bordeaux Nabuk Leather

Cognac Nabuk Leather

Oliva Nabuk Leather

Cashmere Nabuk Leather

Canova Nabuk Leather

Barrique Nabuk Leather

Red Nabuk Leather

Light neutrals — Bianco, Oyster, Lino, Ice, and Cashmere — create a serene, minimal desk surface most cohesive with Canaletto Walnut. Mid-tone naturals — Castoro, Argilla, Tortora, Fango, and Canova — are the most versatile and suit both wood top options equally. Cool greys — Ardesia and Canna di fucile — pair most precisely with Burned Oak. Deep darks — Nero and Testa di moro — deliver the most formal, executive register across both wood finishes. Warm browns — Bruno, Tabacco, Cognac, and Barrique — are most harmonious with Canaletto Walnut and Bronze Embossed together. Jewel tones — Bordeaux, Oliva, and Red — introduce a bold accent note suited to interiors where the desk is the deliberate focal point of the room.
