Designer office tables with a seat built into the bookcase: Lay by Archiutti
In most Indian corporate floors the visitor waits on a chair parked by the door. Lay gives that wait a place: between the storage modules of its bookcases, an upholstered bench in melange fabric sits on the same base as the shelves, in grey, green or violet. The bookcase stops being a wall of files and becomes a short corridor with somewhere to sit, so a supplier, a candidate or a colleague between two meetings does not occupy a cabin or a conference room.
The rest of the programme shares one frame: oval-section steel legs that meet in a U-shaped die-cast aluminium joint, painted white, red, blue, green or anthracite. Tops come in 18 mm melamine, 12 mm CDF or, on the executive version, Canaletto walnut veneer. The concept and creative direction are by Margherita Rui, the product design by e-ggs. From the same structure come the director’s table with side unit, the manager’s table resting on a storage unit, the staff table with a bench for two to six, and meeting tables in soft, rectangular, high and round shapes.
La Mercanti places the Lay bench where your floor plan shows the flow of visitors, orders the fabric sample for approval before the container leaves Italy, and ships to India with the bench listed on its own line of the order.

FAQ
Can the Lay legs be set at different heights?
Yes, on the 120 to 180 cm tables: the legs adjust from 67 to 85 cm in 20 mm steps, so each workstation is set for the person using it and reset when the desk changes hands.
What credenzas come with the Lay director table?
Two: a low credenza with a niche and one with two drawers, both 200 cm wide, 50 deep and 75 high, lacquered or in Canaletto walnut, placed behind the table as a second working surface.
Can the storage doors be locked?
A lock is fitted on request on any module with a door; open modules stay open by nature, and the two kinds are combined on the same column according to what each shelf holds.
What finishes does the 90 cm deep director table come in?
Canaletto walnut veneer or CDF in white, blue, green or anthracite on the top; metal in white, aluminium grey, anthracite, red, blue or green for the frame; the credenza behind it in lacquer or in walnut.
How wide are the rectangular Lay meeting tables?
From 200 to 300 cm in steps of 20 cm, with a depth of 107, 128 or 140 cm; tops beyond 280 cm are supplied in two pieces, and the round version measures 140 or 160 cm across.
How to specify Lay for a tender or a fit-out brief
Five entries a Lay specification needs so the quotation matches the consultant’s drawing.
Start with the top material
Write for Lay whether the top is 18 mm melamine, 12 mm CDF or walnut veneer, and the colour: the choice also fixes the edge.
Fix one frame colour
Joint, legs and duct of Lay are coated in one tone: white, red, blue, green or anthracite. State it once for the whole floor.
Give width and depth per table
For each Lay table note the width, the depth of 80 or 60 cm, and whether adjustable legs are required.
Detail the storage modules
State width, open or with door, niche depth and finishing top; Lay is ordered from the bottom module upwards.
End with power and cabling
State the number of top accesses, the tray position and any sliding-top kit; La Mercanti verifies it against the electrical layout.
