Skyline Wood Dining Table
Skyline Wood Dining Table
By Cattelan Italia
The Skyline Wood Dining Table by Cattelan Italia is a bold architectural masterpiece that celebrates the beauty of natural wood through a distinctly modern Italian design. Characterized by its sculptural geometric base and expansive solid wood top, Skyline transforms the dining room into a sophisticated gathering space where artistry and functionality coexist.
If you love the metropolitan, architectural lines of a structural steel base but want to soften that industrial edge with the tactile warmth of natural timber, the Skyline Wood Dining Table is the ultimate design compromise. Designed by Alessandro Lucatello and Giorgio Cattelan for Cattelan Italia, this piece is a masterclass in balance. It seamlessly marries the sharp, geometric attitude of a modern urban skyline with the grounding, organic soul of masterfully worked Italian wood.
The defining characteristic of the Skyline is its striking, offset steel base. Rather than defaulting to four traditional legs, the table utilizes a series of painted steel plates that mimic the clean verticality of contemporary skyscrapers. Because of the precise angles of the steel columns, the base appears to change form as you walk past it. From one side, it looks like a solid, formidable geometric block; from another, it reveals a slim, transparent profile that lets light dance through. You can ground the piece using rich, light-catching embossed steel finishes like Graphite, Black, or Titanium, allowing the base to either subtly recede or act as a high-contrast anchor.
While the base provides the structural drama, the wood top brings the human element—the warmth, the touch, and the invitation to gather. Cattelan Italia uses only the finest, character-rich timber to finish the Skyline, allowing you to completely dictate the mood of your interior. Canaletto Walnut (NC): A gorgeous, rich honey-brown wood filled with elegant, fluid grain patterns; Burned Oak (RB): A deeper, moodier espresso-charcoal tone; Natural Oak (RN): A lighter, brighter finish that highlights the raw, organic beauty and authentic grain of the timber.
The Skyline Wood Dining Table is a piece designed for a home that refuses to choose between high-fashion architecture and everyday comfort. The Skyline Wood anchors your space with undeniable modern elegance, while the tactile wood surface invites your guests to lean in, rest their hands on the grain, and stay around the table long after the meal has ended.
