Description
The Cattelan Italia Elias Nightstand is the emblem of a design philosophy that fuses function and creative flair in perfect harmony — a round nightstand of extraordinary character and sensory refinement whose organic mushroom-like silhouette is immediately recognisable as an object of distinctive, sculptural personality. Conceived for those who desire to add a touch of sensuality and delicacy to the bedroom, Elias integrates naturally into both modern and classically-inclined interiors. Its two-element round stacked structure reduces visual weight at floor level, lending an airy, floating quality to the composition. The heart of Elias lies in the mastery of its materials: the upper portion is enveloped in a precious leather band of vertical stripe quilting executed entirely by freehand stitch — testifying to a sartorial precision of another era. A metal handle emerges elegantly from the leather, providing access to a practical internal compartment for personal bedside objects. Made in Italy by Cattelan Italia, Ø51×50h cm.
Key Features
- Organic Mushroom-Like Silhouette — Sculptural Personality: Elias is immediately recognisable by its organic, mushroom-like two-disc silhouette — a larger lower circular base and a smaller upper cylinder — a sculptural form of distinctive personality that adds a focal design point to the bedroom while reducing visual weight at floor level for an airy, floating quality.
- Vertical Stripe Quilted Leather Upper — Sartorial Craft Excellence: The upper portion is enveloped in a precious leather band with vertical stripe quilting executed entirely by freehand stitch — an extraordinary demonstration of sartorial craft precision both visible to the eye and perceptible to the touch.
- Metal Handle — Internal Storage Compartment: A metal handle emerges elegantly from the quilted leather, providing access to a practical internal storage compartment ideal for organising personal bedside objects in total order, entirely concealed from external view.
- Left or Right Door Opening — Flexibility for All Bedside Layouts: Available in Left or Right opening configuration for positioning on either side of the bed, with the door opening outward from the bed edge. For paired use, order one Left and one Right for a symmetrical composition.
- Two Structure Finishes — Titanium and Polished Beige Lacquered Wood: Titanium is a cool, refined metallic grey; Polished Beige is a warm, luminous cream-beige with a polished high-gloss quality. Both available with all leather options and both door directions.
- Soft Leather and Glove Soft Leather — Full Cattelan Italia Palette: The quilted upper wrap is available in Soft Leather or the premium Glove Soft Leather, both across the full Cattelan Italia colour palette, allowing Elias to be specified as a bold chromatic accent or a refined tone-on-tone complement.
- Ideal Companion for Upholstered Beds: Elias echoes the softness of upholstered beds and voluminous headboards, adding a complementary material focal point of design quality beside the mattress.

Structure Finish
Two lacquered wood structure finishes — Titanium and Polished Beige. Both available with all leather options and both door opening directions.
Titanium Lacquered Wood
Structure Finish
Polished Beige Lacquered Wood
Structure Finish
Titanium Lacquered Wood is a refined, cool mid-grey metallic lacquer — a sophisticated, architectural neutral of restrained luxury suited to modern, minimalist, and transitional interior contexts. Polished Beige Lacquered Wood is a warm, luminous cream-beige lacquer of polished high-gloss quality that gives the Elias base a warm, refined, light-catching presence, pairing naturally with warm leather tones and classically-inclined bedroom interiors. Finish samples available on request.
Door Opening
Two door opening directions — Left and Right. Select according to the position of Elias beside the bed. For paired use, order one of each for a symmetrical composition.
Left Opening Door
Door Configuration
Right Opening Door
Door Configuration
Left Opening is suited to positioning Elias on the right-hand side of the bed, door opening outward to the left. Right Opening is suited to the left-hand side of the bed, door opening outward to the right. For paired bedside use, select one Left and one Right Opening for a symmetrical composition with both doors opening away from the bed. Please confirm door opening direction carefully at time of order, as this is determined at manufacture and cannot be changed post-delivery.
Door Leather Finish
Two leather quality options — Soft Leather and Glove Soft Leather. Both available in the full Cattelan Italia leather colour palette. Each consists of multiple individual leather panels.
Soft Leather is a supple, yielding leather of natural warmth and excellent durability — a generously padded, hand-stitched vertical stripe quilted wrap of considerable tactile richness. Glove Soft Leather is the premium grade — a full-grain leather of exceptional suppleness named for its glove-like surface softness, elevating the sensory character of Elias to the highest level of material sophistication. Both are constructed from multiple individual leather panels joined with precision. The full Cattelan Italia colour palette allows Elias to be specified as a bold chromatic accent in cobalt, forest green, or terracotta, or as a tone-on-tone refinement in cream, taupe, or stone. Please contact us for the complete leather sample range.
Materials & Construction
Lacquered Wood Base Structure
The Elias base and connecting structure are constructed in lacquered wood in Titanium or Polished Beige. The two-element stacked form — larger lower disc and smaller upper cylinder — is engineered to reduce visual weight at floor level while providing structural stability for the leather-wrapped upper element. The lacquered surface gives Elias a composed, precise material quality appropriate to the bedroom.
Hand-Quilted Leather Upper Wrap
The upper cylinder of Elias is enveloped in a precious leather band with vertical stripe quilting executed entirely by freehand stitch — an extraordinary demonstration of sartorial craft that is both visible to the eye and perceptible to the touch. The quilted leather wrap is constructed from multiple individual leather panels joined with precision. A metal handle set within the quilted leather provides access to the internal compartment.
Organic Mushroom Form — Visual Lightness
The two-disc stacked construction of Elias concentrates visual mass in the lower disc while reducing the footprint of the upper element — creating a composed, airy visual presence at the bedside with minimal floor-level visual intrusion, simplifying room cleaning around the nightstand and creating the characteristic floating, weightless quality of the design.

Packaging Details
Packaging dimensions and weights will be confirmed prior to delivery. The hand-quilted leather upper wrap requires specialist protective packaging during transit to prevent compression or marking of the leather surface. Please confirm door opening direction (Left or Right) carefully at time of order, as this is determined at manufacture and cannot be changed post-delivery. For paired bedroom use, order one Left Opening and one Right Opening. Please contact us if exact packaging data is required for logistics or commercial project planning.
