Materials have always been key carriers of identity and narrative for Cattelan Italia, and the Keramik collection represents one of the most significant turning points in the brand’s contemporary evolution.
More than a decade ago, experimentation with large-format ceramics marked a new direction in dining table design—a moment when an industrial material was elevated to the status of a refined, design-driven surface.
In Cattelan Italia’s interpretation, ceramics are not merely a finishing touch. They become a powerful aesthetic statement, where elegance, durability, and creativity meet in perfect balance. Through the Keramik collection, the brand redefines contemporary living spaces, transforming the dining table into a central, sculptural element of the interior.
Keramik Premium: Sculptural Craftsmanship and Technical Precision
A distinct chapter within the collection is Keramik Premium, featuring a brushed finish that introduces a new dimension of artisanal expression. This surface treatment enhances the material’s depth and tactile quality while emphasizing manufacturing precision. In the Skorpio Keramik model, technical innovation and hand craftsmanship merge into a dynamic form that reshapes the perception of the dining table and sets new standards for contemporary living.
Napoleon: Ceramics as Structure, Volume, and Form
With the Napoleon model, the Keramik collection reaches full maturity. Here, ceramics move beyond surface treatment to become structure and architectural volume. Thanks to advanced shaping techniques, ceramic slabs are bent and molded into fluid, dynamic forms. The central base—composed of two symmetrical ceramic volumes separated by a vertical slit—creates a powerful visual balance between solidity and lightness.
This sculptural approach has also been extended to outdoor environments. Napoleon Keramik Outdoor translates the monolithic character of the indoor collection into exterior settings, while ceramics retain their defining role—durable, long-lasting, and visually commanding, even in open-air spaces.
Design with an Awareness of the Future
The Keramik collection speaks not only about form and aesthetics, but also about responsibility. At a time when sustainability has become a priority in the furniture industry, ceramics emerge as a thoughtful and logical choice—a natural, durable, and recyclable material with a low environmental impact. Through this material selection, Cattelan Italia reinforces its commitment to research and experimentation, using material as a tool for the continuous evolution of the brand narrative.
Material as Narrative
With the Keramik collection, Cattelan Italia clearly demonstrates that design is not static, but a language in constant transformation. Ceramics become a carrier of identity—a fusion of industrial innovation and deeply rooted Made in Italy craftsmanship. The result is a series of pieces that transcend the function of furniture and enter the realm of contemporary design objects: timeless, powerful, and thoughtfully conceived.
