Founded in 1923 in Manzano, in the heart of Italy’s famous “chair district”, Calligaris is now one of the leading symbols of Made in Italy design worldwide. Everything began with a chair, the iconic Marocca: a wooden structure with a handwoven straw seat crafted in Antonio Calligaris’ small workshop. From that first family-run laboratory, the brand has grown through more than one hundred years of innovation, research, and passion for contemporary furniture.
Over the years, Calligaris transformed its expertise in chair production into a complete collection of furniture and home accessories designed for everyday living: tables, stools, sofas, beds, sideboards, and accessories that combine elegance, comfort, and functionality. Every product is created to make spaces welcoming, versatile, and authentic, always maintaining a contemporary and distinctive style.
The brand is appreciated worldwide for its ability to blend aesthetics with practicality, thanks to innovative design developed to meet the real needs of modern living. Calligaris continuously experiments with materials, finishes, and technical solutions, using FSC® certified wood, ceramic, glass, metal, and high-performance plastics selected to ensure durability, resistance, and timeless beauty.
Sustainability is one of the company’s core values. From the use of certified materials to the optimization of production processes and renewable energy in its facilities, Calligaris promotes a responsible vision of design where innovation and environmental awareness coexist in harmony.
Today, Calligaris collaborates with international designers and continues to evolve without losing touch with its artisanal roots. Its collections express a dynamic, elegant, and personal concept of home, where every element is designed to be lived in naturally and stylishly every day. Because for Calligaris, home is not simply a place to furnish, but a place to truly live.
