Mascheroni: real solid-wood tables, not veneer over board

Where much executive furniture is veneer over engineered board, Mascheroni works predominantly in solid wood — structures selected piece by piece so a meeting table has real weight and can be worked, not just surfaced. From its workshop in Cabiate, in Italy's Brianza furniture district, the company assembles each table entirely by hand, pairing the solid timber with natural leather where the design calls for it.

For an office that wants furniture built to last rather than to photograph, that solid-wood construction is the point. La Mercanti specifies Mascheroni with real timber and hide samples and a coordinated delivery, so the table that reaches the boardroom is the same solid piece chosen at the sample stage.
