Stratos Ceramic Dining Table
By Cattelan Italia | Designer: Paolo Cattelan & Studio Kronos
The Stratos Ceramic Dining Table blends sculptural geometry with refined Italian craftsmanship. If you are drawn to dining tables that act as a bold, architectural centerpiece, the Stratos Ceramic (Keramik) (designed by Paolo Cattelan and Studio Kronos for Cattelan Italia) is an absolute masterclass in modern geometry. It takes an intricate, origami-like steel base and pairs it with an indestructible, stone-like ceramic top. It is the perfect choice for a home that wants a breathtaking, gallery-worthy focal point without giving up the durability needed for real, everyday life.
The absolute soul of the Stratos collection is its striking central pedestal. Instead of standard corner legs or a basic central cylinder, the base is formed by heavy-duty steel plates that intersect and crease at sharp, dynamic angles. The plates look like they have been precisely folded like massive metal origami. Because the angled planes are positioned asymmetrically, the base creates a deep sense of architectural movement and shadow play. From one angle, it looks like a solid, grounded monolith; take two steps to the side, and it suddenly opens up into a sleek, crisscrossing geometric shape. You can ground the heavy look of the base with highly textured, light-catching embossed steel finishes like Titanium, Bronze, Graphite, or Black.
The tabletop features an exquisite slab of Cattelan Italia's premier Marmi Ceramic. It perfectly captures the deep visual drama, rich veining, and organic luxury of the world's rarest natural stones—from the intense charcoal and gold streaks of Glossy Sahara Noir to the warm, luminous clouding of Alabastro or Golden Calacatta. Real marble is a magnet for stains, etching from acidic foods (like wine, coffee, or lemon juice), and daily scratches. This ceramic surface, however, is built like an absolute tank. It is entirely non-porous, highly scratch-resistant, heat-proof, and stain-resistant. You get all the upscale romance of an old Italian stone quarry with none of the underlying maintenance anxiety.
The Stratos Ceramic (Keramik) is built in a sprawling array of shapes and sizes to perfectly tailor the geometry of your dining room: Rectangular, Shaped/Barrel, Biscuit/Oval, and Polygon. It is designed for a home that wants to make a serious design statement without sacrificing everyday functionality. The sculptural, folded metal base anchors the room with undeniable masculine elegance, while the indestructible ceramic top ensures that your beautiful gallery-worthy table can still handle the chaotic, beautiful reality of family dinners and holiday hosting flawlessly.
