Established in 1923 as a woodworking workshop, Calligaris grew and developed to become a worldwide leading company of Italian smart design. Today, Calligaris's product range covers the whole world of furniture, from chairs (the first product) to lighting, the last category to enter its range. Production is carried out in eight units in Italy (starting with its headquarters in Manzano, in the province of Udine) and abroad (with a semi-finished wood products plant in Croatia) and branches in the United States, Japan, France, the United Kingdom, Germany and Russia. The sales network is based on partners and dealers in more than 90 countries. Calligaris currently has four flagship stores, 70 own-brand stores, 155 shops-within-a-shop and 324 concessions around the world.
