S•CAB: one catalogue from the single desk to the conference hall
«Workspace is collaboration» is how this Italian manufacturer frames its office range, and the range follows the claim: tables and bases, chairs and small armchairs, stools — enough to furnish a single desk, a meeting room, a lounge and a conference hall from one supplier. S•CAB has been making seating in Coccaglio, near Brescia, since 1957, from three plants covering 85,000 square metres, entirely in Italy. The office collections carry designers' names — Si-Si, Mentha, Brezza, Squid, Tiffany — and a deliberately clean line meant to support focus rather than compete with it.
La Mercanti works with S•CAB where a floor needs one visual language across very different rooms. Ask us for the workspace collections: the answer covers the whole floor plan, not one corner of it.
FAQ
Which rooms can a single S•CAB order actually cover?
The workspace range runs from tables and bases to chairs, small armchairs and stools, which in practice means one order can dress an operative area, a meeting room, a lounge corner and a conference hall. The company describes its office aesthetic as linear and clean, precisely so the same family reads well in rooms with very different purposes. That coherence is the practical argument: fewer suppliers, one delivery plan, one visual result.
Is S•CAB furniture made in Italy?
Yes, and the company is specific about it: production runs entirely in Italy across three plants in the province of Brescia, totalling 85,000 square metres. The firm was founded in 1957 in Coccaglio and has stayed in the same area since, which is also why it was entered in the Italian historic trademarks register in 2022. Certificates for individual items are downloadable from each product page.
Specifying an S•CAB workspace: five steps with La Mercanti
For designers, facility managers and A&D teams: how to move from a floor plan to a coherent seating scheme.
Map the rooms before the chairs
List every space that needs seating — desks, meeting rooms, lounge, canteen, conference hall — and note how long people stay in each. The brief for a ten-minute waiting area is not the brief for a full working day.
Choose one family as the backbone
Pick a single collection to carry the majority of the floor, then allow variations where the use genuinely differs. A clean, linear line is easier to repeat across rooms without the result looking monotonous.
Set the materials brief
Decide early between plastic, steel, wood and textile, and flag whether recycled content matters for your certification targets. This is the point where the Go Green options belong in the conversation, not after the quotation.
Ask for the documentation you will need later
Collect the technical sheets and the certificates that apply to the items you selected; they are downloadable directly from the article page and are what a tender or an internal audit will ask for.
Plan delivery around site readiness
Agree the sequence with us — which rooms go in first, which finishes need samples approved, who receives on site. Delivery dates are confirmed in writing when the order is placed.
