Cattelan Italia Zermatt Argile Dining Table
Design: Yasuhiro Shito
Year: 2024
The Zermatt family of tables features a central base packed with corners and verticals. More precisely, it is formed of 15 sides that repeat around the central column with geometric precision. Each side of this prism appears to be a different colour, as light is reflected in varying intensity depending on the angle.
This wide-ranging colour palette is what makes this modern designer table so captivating. Depending on the angle, up to eight sides can be seen at the same time, each with a different hue. One of the sides reflects more light, making it stand out in contrast to the others with a much brighter hue, becoming the particular focal point of the composition. The Zermatt family of tables consists of three designer round table models in clay, ceramic and wood, respectively the Zermatt Argile, Zermatt Keramik and Zermatt Wood versions.
Table with base in titanium (GFM11) or bronze (GFM18) embossed lacquered steel. Top in MDF clay-spatulated in colours Havana (AR04), Cairo (AR05) or Oslo (AR09).

Table Top Finish Details
CLAY is a thin, multi-layer coating and each layer is applied manually with a spatula and naturally dried. The processing is completed with a last protective coating to preserve the surface and the natural opacity of the material. Natural colours and finishes are the result of soils mixing during the production process of clay and its mixtures. The appearance of imperfections is to be considered as a distinctive feature of the hand-worked material.
MAINTENANCE: protect the surface from falling blunt objects, avoid direct contact with flames or very hot objects. For daily cleaning, use a soft cloth with water and mild neutral detergents and dry the surface with a soft cloth or absorbent paper. Remove food residues, liquids or greases within a few hours to avoid permanent stains.
