How a Calligaris chair is born
It all starts in a quiet place, where wood grows slowly, following the rhythm of nature. It is nature itself that teaches us the value of time, with its seasons, its pauses, its transformations.
Wood is a living material, it breathes, it changes, and only human hands can transform it into something that reflects who we are.
Every cut, every curve, every finish becomes a story of care, patience and dedication. Because an object is never just an object, it is a conscious choice, a legacy that is constantly renewed, just like nature. This is how a Calligaris chair comes to life: from the meeting of man and nature, of design and passion, of care and beauty. When you sit down, you do not just find comfort. You feel at home, because every chair carries something rare and precious within it: a soul.
At Calligaris, every creation carries a story. Not only the one behind the idea from which it was born, but also the story of those who have touched it, crafted it, refined it.
Because behind every object that appears inanimate, there is a watchful eye, a precise gesture, the care of a person. And it is this silent presence that makes it unique: a mark of humanity intertwined with matter, transforming it into something alive, authentic and unrepeatable.
Meet the protagonist: Oleandro. A light chair with character, capable of standing out without ever becoming anonymous.
Oleandro takes its name from the plant that inspires it: slender, elongated leaves that become the visual and conceptual signature of the design. The wooden tube’s gentle flattening recalls that natural shape, turning into an iconic detail. A light and essential chair that carries within itself the spirit of nature.
