Calligaris - The History of More Than 80 Years


The story. Antonio Calligaris' shop started its production in 1923 manufacturing its first 'Marocca' chair. A company meant to grow. By the conception and the adoption of the first manufacturing machine for straw seats, in the sixties, the company started its journey towards innovation. Today Calligaris is a market leader in the chairs, tables and furniture. With experience that grows over time, it has the strength of a company that retains traditions while working towards the future.

The group. Calligaris is made up of four different companies: Calligaris d.o.o, where raw materials are bought and where the first production takes place; Calligaris USA, which deals with the North American market; Calligaris Japan, which deals with the Japanese market; and Calligaris S.p.A., the core of the Group. The headquarters are in Manzano, in the North of Italy. At the head of this group is Alessandro Calligaris, third generation president. (from official Calligaris website http://www.calligaris.it/)
