Trade terms for professionals and design studios
English offers a chair or an armchair, and nothing in between; Italian has a third word. Poltroncina — the little armchair — names a precise idea: a seat compact enough to serve a dining table, generous enough to hold you like furniture with intentions. Cut by Lapalma is the word made object. Francesco Rota kept the footprint of a chair — 55 by 51 centimetres — and gave it what chairs renounce: a shell that rises around the back and comes forward to meet the elbows, padded inside, sharp outside.
Because the category sits between rooms, the family refuses to choose one: nine versions carry the same shell from the dining table to the meeting room and the desk — solid wood legs, steel sled, star and column bases, castor versions fixed or height-adjustable. Fabrics span four categories, joined by Soft-leather hide and Valencia eco-leather. One untranslatable word, one shell, a whole floor plan covered.
La Mercanti delivers Cut programs across India with Lapalma's metric documentation and door-to-door logistics — versions and coverings agreed on paper before production begins.

A Ø60 cm base circle — useful arithmetic when planning cabins and training rooms; fixed-base versions sit within 55 by 51 cm.
Yes: choose inner padding only, and the white or black Baydur shell frames whatever fabric the brand guidelines dictate inside it.
Four categories running from Medley and Maya to Hallingdal, Steelcut Trio, Divina and Blazer, plus Soft-leather hide and Valencia eco-leather — all on the official card La Mercanti samples out.

La Mercanti coordinates production batches and door-to-door freight with customs handled, and confirms every date in writing at order confirmation.
Chairs arrive in volume, not one by one. Five steps to plan the delivery day without stopping the floor.
Ask La Mercanti how many boxes the Cut order travels in and their sizes before booking anything.
Reserve the goods elevator and a dock window with building management for the delivery slot.
Label boxes by destination room so each batch of Cut chairs moves once, not twice.
Open cartons in a side room and keep hardware bags together until every Cut is assembled.
Tick versions and coverings against the confirmation, noting any transport remark before signing the receipt.
