Calligaris Italian Designed Furniture

 

 

What is the difference between Calligaris and Connubia?

Calligaris traditionally represents the company's more premium, established furniture lines with classic Italian design sensibilities and typically higher price points. The brand carries the heritage and gravitas of decades in Italian furniture manufacturing.

Connubia positions itself as the younger, more accessible brand within the Calligaris family. It focuses on contemporary design with strong sustainability credentials, featuring collections like their Green program that emphasizes recycled materials and environmentally conscious manufacturing.

Both brands share the same manufacturing facilities, quality control standards, warranty programs, and distribution networks. The MADE TO ORDER program, customer service protocols, and technical specifications operate under unified Calligaris S.p.A. systems, ensuring consistent quality and service regardless of brand.

What is the long-term durability of the materials Calligaris uses?

Calligaris's polypropylene components, particularly their recycled formulations, show remarkable durability due to the material's inherent thermoplastic properties that resist UV degradation and maintain flexibility over time. The company's air-molding technology creates dense, uniform structures that can withstand significant stress cycles, making pieces like the Academy collection suitable for both residential and light commercial applications for decades. The material's resistance to moisture and chemical exposure means it maintains structural integrity even in challenging environments.

Their metal components, featuring specialized cataphoresis treatments and powder coatings, demonstrate industrial-grade durability that can span generations with minimal maintenance. The aluminum bases, in particular, offer superior corrosion resistance while maintaining dimensional stability across temperature variations. Steel components, while heavier, provide exceptional structural longevity when properly treated, with the company's coating systems preventing oxidation even in humid conditions.

Glass components, when tempered and properly installed, offer virtually indefinite service life with resistance to scratching and thermal stress that exceeds most household demands. The optical clarity and surface integrity remain stable over decades, though edge protection becomes critical for long-term performance.

Leather materials present the most variable durability profile, with Calligaris's regenerated leather offering good performance for 5-8 years under normal use, while their premium soft leather can provide exceptional service for 15-20 years when properly maintained. The water-based finishing systems provide superior aging characteristics compared to solvent-based alternatives, allowing the leather to develop natural patina without compromising structural integrity.

The company's fabric selections, particularly those with high Martindale ratings, demonstrate commercial-grade durability with many exceeding 100,000 cycle ratings. This translates to residential service lives of 10-15 years even under heavy use, with proper rotation and care extending this significantly.

Calligaris's approach to long-term durability emphasizes material honesty and appropriate application, ensuring that each component performs optimally within its designed parameters rather than attempting universal solutions that compromise specific performance characteristics.

What is the difference between P2C White Marble and P9C Silk White Marble?

The difference is best illustrated in photos. The P9C Silk White Marble has a matte finish best seen here on the Cartesio Dining Table, while the P2C Marble finish is glossy as best seen here on the Omnia. We recommend downloading the Calligaris catalogs below and entering the finish code, for example P9C into the finder, then scrolling all of the viewable images of the tabletop finish on various designs in various settings. Reach out with screen shots and we can provide more info, like what dining chairs are seen in a particular product pic.
