Why Buy The Skorpio Dining Table By Cattelan Italia?

Is this table worth your time and investment? From material to practicality and from its design to reliability, here’s everything you need to know before you make your decision.

For Its Timeless Design

Every home needs a ‘wow factor’ that can transform it into a palace and this table certainly has the potential to do so. It is beautifully crafted and has a timeless appeal, ensuring it never goes out of style. Designed by Andrea Lucatello and Paolo Cattelan, the Skorpio table comes in an iconic design and it won’t be an exaggeration to consider it a work of art.

In the age of modern minimalism, where everyone wants simple but statement-making furniture, the Skorpio table fulfils this criterion by offering a classic design but with a modern twist. The main highlight and distinguishing feature of this table is its metallic base with distinctively interlocked legs.

It comes in wood, glass and ceramic tops and in both round and rectangular shapes, so there are just so many fabulous possibilities to choose from.

Perhaps the best part is that you can customise the table by choosing from different types of base and top materials.

This means that you can easily choose colours and finishes that are in line with the theme of the room that you plan on placing the table in.

For Its Quality

Wouldn’t you want to own a table that can last decades?

The Skorpio can definitely be the one as long as you treat it right.

Cattelan Italia is a brand that has always been known for combining style with quality and this table is no exception. One look at it and you’ll be impressed with its solid construction, sturdiness, durability and amazing craftsmanship, all of which are important things to consider when buying a dining table.

The amazing finish of the top, be it in wood, glass or ceramic, makes this table the perfect base for some fabulous, and insta-worthy, flat-lay photography. And if you’re someone who likes to entertain and host, then this table is going to be the showstopper for many dinner parties.

For Its Versatility

You don’t buy a dining table every day, so it is best to go for one that’s not just attractive but also practical and versatile.

The Skorpio table looks great no matter how many chairs you set it up with; you can easily choose between two to fourteen chairs, depending on your needs and the table size that you choose.

You’ll find many similar luxury dining tables or alternatives that look fantastic and perhaps even come at a lower price, but once you sit on them, the legs of the table keep bothering you and make your seating arrangement uncomfortable or even unnatural.

Luckily, the Cattelan Italia Skorpio isn’t one of these tables, as it’s been carefully designed, after countless hours of planning the perfect materials and angles, to ensure that the base doesn’t interfere with the seating. Last but not least is the fact that it looks equally elegant in almost any setting – bold or simple, traditional or modern; this table works well with any decorating style.

So whether you’re planning on placing it in the dining room or the kitchen, and whether you place it centrally or adjacent to the wall, you’ll never need to worry about how it will fit in with the overall room design, after all, a ‘Scorpio’ is known for its adaptability skills.

In fact, this table is so tastefully sculptured that you would even want to pull up a chair and use it as a nice home office workstation.

Different Types of Skorpio Tables by Cattelan Italia

Premium in quality, striking in design and outstanding functionality, the Skorpio collection truly deserves to be celebrated and it is one of Cattelan Italia's most iconic designs.

If you’re looking for an investment piece to upgrade your home, read on to find out more about the best Skorpio Tables by Cattelan Italia…

1 - Keramik Round

As one of the round Skorpio designs, this piece is perfect for social occasions. Known to be the best option for creating a sociable dining setting, the round shape enables everyone around the table to be connected and to have a clear view of one another.

The harsh and solid lines of the base beautifully contrast with the softer marble-style top, seamlessly blending the appearance of industrial, man-made materials with more raw and natural-looking materials.

Fully customisable, the base comes in titanium embossed, graphite embossed, or white embossed options. Go for the deeper and darker options of titanium or graphite for spaces mostly used for evening dining to create depth, or for daytime dining spaces, opt for the fresh white finish.

The top is also available in a variety of ceramic finishes. Choose a lighter style with the white base for a complementary finish, or go for something contrasting for a bolder design.

2 - Ker-Wood Round

With a marble-style ceramic insert to the centre and a solid wood outer, this tabletop beautifully blends two tactile and quality materials for a unique and high-end finish.

This statement piece is the perfect way to add interest with multiple materials and finishes. The titanium base perfectly contrasts against the natural finish top, instantly drawing the eye and adding character and luxurious style.

Like the Ceramic Round Fixed Table, the Ker-Wood table is also available in multiple finishes. 

3 - Skorpio Wood

This is ideal if you’re looking for a more traditional design with a 21st-century contemporary update. The graphic and solid base takes center stage in this table. With a sculptural feel, it is similar to contemporary artwork and will be a real ‘wow’ piece no matter where you place it.

The base is available in titanium, white, black, graphite, embossed lacquered or brushed bronze lacquered steel. In addition, when it comes to the tabletop, choose from angled edges for a sleek finish or irregular edges for a more rustic finish. The top comes in different options, including Canaletto walnut, Heritage oak or natural oak.

Connecting with the other Skorpio tables perfectly, the wood top table uses the same premium and raw materials, with the stunning contrast of natural and rustic materials with industrial elements.

4 - Skorpio Round (Glass)

Another fantastic round design, but with a glass top, the Skorpio Round Fixed Table is sleek and contemporary. With the same stunning base showcasing the designer's talent and ingenuity, this modern update on the classic round table provides both function and eye-catching style.

5 - Skorpio Keramik

Strikingly sleek with softened and curved edges, this table comes in various versatile sizes. Perfect for creating an impact in the dining space, this stunning table is eye-catching and inspiring. Create depth with the dark ceramic tops, or go for a fresh and bright finish with the lighter options.

Of course, this style also shares the same structural base as the other Skorpio designs, which is available in three stunning finishes.

6 - Skorpio Glass

The traditional shaped design is updated with modern design flair – with a glass top in a rectangle shape and a solid and graphic metal base; this is a stunning contemporary piece for the luxury dining rooms. Sculptural and unique, the glass top allows the base to take centre stage in this design. With different glass finishes, the base also comes in options of brushed bronze, embossed titanium and embossed graphite.

The table makes a strong style statement and is best kept for the bold and those that prefer quality materials and innovative design.

7 - Skorpio CrystalArt

Crystal art dining tables are one of Cattelan Italia's latest collections. This finish features a glass top with a beautiful print, similar to Keramik, but with the shine of crystal or glass. 

Each of these stunning designs are unique but they share the same principles – forward-thinking design, optimum functionality and the use of premium materials- to create a striking, inspiring, and beautiful dining space that you can continue to enjoy for a lifetime.
