More than a century ago, in the heart of the Italian region of Friuli, a young artisan Antonio Calligaris created his first "Marocca" chair. The simple form, perfect proportions and handcrafted workmanship began the history of the brand, which in time became one of the most important symbols of Italian design in the world. Today Calligaris is an international brand, present in more than 90 countries.

Although the scale of operations has changed dramatically, the values have remained the same - beauty, comfort and thoughtful design. For generations, the company has proven that sophistication can take the form of elegance expressed in refined details, harmony of proportion and quality of materials.
The history of the Calligaris brand began in 1923, when Antonio Calligaris opened a small carpentry workshop in Manzano, the Italian region of Friuli, known today as the "chair district." His first design, the Marocca chair, became the symbol of the birth of the brand, which evolved over the following decades in the spirit of Italian craftsmanship and functional beauty. From a family-run factory to a global brand, also available in Poland, Calligaris has gone through a remarkable journey.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the company introduced technologies that revolutionized the local furniture industry and ushered in an era of modern design in Italy. Since the 1980s, Calligaris began creating not only chairs, but also tables, storage furniture, lighting and accessories, showing ideas for complete interior design. Today, the brand offers almost everything to furnish a modern home, but in Poland we most associate it as a manufacturer of high-quality tables and chairs.
In the manufacturer's offer you will find unique designs Orbital, Omnia, Runway, Volo or Alpha, equipped with patented unfolding and folding systems that make Calligaris tables unique in use - simple, intuitive and reliable.

The Calligaris philosophy has remained unchanged since the beginning: beauty only makes sense when accompanied by functionality. Each project is created with people and their everyday life in mind, moments that happen around a common table, surrounded by harmonious forms and refined details. In the same spirit, the Calligaris Museum in Manzano was also created - a place that documents the brand's more than 100-year history and its contribution to the development of Italian design.
The brand's collections include iconic models as well as modern designs created by renowned Italian and international designers. Each piece of Calligaris furniture is created with people in mind, exemplifying design that adapts to life, not the other way around. Interior architects refer to the furniture as subtle, finely detailed and always stylish, but never ostentatious. The brand also places great importance on sustainable design and responsible manufacturing. It uses certified wood, recycled materials and sustainable fabrics with a low environmental footprint. For Calligaris, good design is one that not only looks good, but also lasts and does not harm the planet.

In Poland, Calligaris is a brand that sets trends in modern design, adapting its collections to the needs and expectations of Polish customers. The vast possibilities for personalization - from the choice of materials, colors and finishes to the configuration of dimensions - mean that each project can be unique and tailored to the user's individual style. It is the flexibility of the offer and attention to detail that make Calligaris a leader in its category.
The brand is also successfully developing an offer dedicated to the HoReCa sector - hotels, restaurants and public spaces - offering products of high durability and timeless design that successfully compete with the offerings of Polish manufacturers. As a result, Calligaris is today one of the most recognizable furniture brands in Poland, valued by both architects and individual customers.
