The material used is solid beech. The table is universal as it fits both residential houses, and cafes, bars, and restaurants.

Calligaris Ottoman "ZOE"


Designers Paolo Lucidi and Luce Pevere created ottomans “Zoe” for Calligaris as very bright, nice and light-minded items. It’s not accidental. “Zoe” in ancient Greek means “Life”.
The authors saw the meaning of Life in bright orange color of Italian and Sicilian oranges. Strong colors and uneven shapes are very pleasant for the eyes. The items are not only pure designer pieces. They are quite practical – the wool covers can be taken off and dry cleaned.
