Every long table hides the same compromise: legs where knees and chairs want to be. The Cross table addresses it with engineering the manufacturer declares openly — a span of up to nearly four metres (around 13 feet), made possible by modern die-cast aluminium. The sheet calls the result architectural, and the word is earned: a sturdy structure carrying a substantial length, minimal in line, with ample clear space beneath for the people actually sitting at it.
Designed by the Milanese studio Metrica in 2014, the system builds around that span: two declared heights of 74 and 105 cm (29.1 and 41.3 inches), tops in Fenix® laminate or oak and wengé veneer, in-line configurations to extend the room, and electrified versions with power and data units in the top. Boardroom, collaborative work, conference settings, home office and training rooms all read the same line. For UK projects, La Mercanti configures Cross span by span, with delivery times confirmed in writing at order confirmation.
