Cattelan Italia Extends the Botero Collection

The Botero table has always stood out. An unmistakable shape, generous, rounded, and immediately connected to the work of Fernando Botero, the artist who celebrated sensual and full forms. That reference is clear in the table’s name, and in its proportions. What began as a single design has now grown into something larger. Cattelan Italia has extended the Botero idea into a whole family of products, five new versions, each with the same DNA, each able to adapt to very different interiors.

The essence remains unchanged: an essential form, no excess, just a clarity of line. But every new model tells its own story through material.

The Botero Keramik Round introduces a ceramic top in a circular shape. Roundness always changes the dynamic of a room. It draws people together, removes hierarchy, and turns the table into a natural centrepiece of the dining area. The ceramic surface adds durability, elegance, and a cool modern tone that works well in contemporary dining spaces.

The Botero Argile is the complete opposite in feeling. Finished entirely in natural clay, it takes on a raw and tactile presence. The surface is rough to the touch, irregular, and almost primitive in its effect. It brings out the sensory essence of material, the direct link to handcrafting, to the act of shaping clay. Argile introduces a raw, authentic presence, projecting expressive energy into a space while maintaining the sculptural balance that defines the collection.

Wood is at the core of Italian conviviality, and Botero Wood and Botero Wood Round offer exactly that. Both highlight the warmth and grain of timber. The range of fine woods and artisanal finishes is wide, making it possible to fit the table into classic or modern interiors with equal ease. These versions carry with them tradition, the archetype of dining together around wood, and at the same time the assurance of craftsmanship. Cattelan Italia places its Made in Italy identity at the centre here, with details and finishes that are unmistakably the product of skilled hands.

The fifth piece, the Botero Ker-Wood Round, merges two materials. A wooden table with a central rotating ceramic insert. A detail that is not just practical but cultural. In Asian markets, where dining often involves sharing dishes, the rotating centre fits naturally into existing rituals. It turns the act of eating into a smoother, more communal experience. At the same time, it keeps the design elegant, balanced, and unmistakably contemporary.

Across all these models, the Botero family maintains its character. These are tables that define a space rather than simply occupy it. They bring architectural weight, they draw attention, and they quickly become the point where life unfolds. Meals, conversations, celebrations, quiet moments – the table carries all of these.

For Cattelan Italia, the extension of the Botero line is not just a matter of adding new products. It reflects a consistent vision. The company has always seen the table as a cornerstone of its design identity, and as a strategic element in its business. By multiplying versions of Botero, it addresses new lifestyles, different markets, and the global demand for variety, while keeping the integrity of the original design.

Whether ceramic, clay, or wood, whether round or linear, the Botero Collection now offers a complete vocabulary. One idea, interpreted in different ways, but always with the same sense of balance and presence. Each table demonstrates what modern Italian design can achieve when it holds on to tradition while speaking to the present.

The result is not just a catalogue expansion. It is a demonstration that a single strong design can evolve without losing its identity. Botero began as a statement piece. Today it is a family, versatile and international, yet unmistakably Italian.
