Most classic executive desks are made of wood, glass or metal. One adds a fourth option: sides cut from Piasentina stone, a grey stone quarried in north-east Italy and worked by hand, 40 mm thick on the desk and 18 mm on the extension. Each slab carries a white flame-shaped vein that forms naturally in the quarry, so no two desks share the same pattern, and Codutti says so in the catalogue: the flaming makes every composition exclusive to the buyer. The stone sits on the same mirror-polished stainless steel crossbars that carry the walnut and hide versions, and it takes either a 12 mm extra-clear glass top or a 41 mm American walnut top, in natural, tobacco or bleached vintage tones.
The range does not stop at the desk: a supporting drawer unit with a hidden push-pull door, multi-function extensions with a laptop bay and a bag bay, open bookcases raised on panelled feet, modular cabinets with a built-in fridge or a digital safe, modular meeting tables for 10 or 14 people, a standing conversation counter, waiting tables, chairs and sofas in leather. Codutti covers the pieces with a five-year warranty stated in the 2025 price list. Because stone is chosen by the slab, La Mercanti asks the factory for photographs of the actual panels before the desk is crated for the UK: the veining you see is the veining you receive.
