Calligaris has developed into a broad furniture collection covering living, dining and bedroom spaces, but dining remains the strongest place to start. Its tables, chairs and bar stools combine practical sizes and configurations with a wide choice of finishes, while sideboards, occasional furniture and upholstery allow the collection to extend across an open-plan room.
If you are looking for a dining table, begin with the number of people who use it every day and the space available around it. Then decide whether a fixed dining table is sufficient or whether an extending table would give you useful occasional capacity. The base, chairs and tabletop material can then be considered around how the table will be used.
For other furniture, use the same principle. Decide what a sideboard needs to store, where an occasional table needs to sit or how a sofa configuration will work with the routes through the room before narrowing the choice by colour or finish.
One of Calligaris's strengths is the choice of materials and finishes available across different types of furniture. Dining chairs and bar stools can relate to a table, while ceramics, metals, fabrics and other finishes can be carried through into sideboards, occasional furniture and upholstery.
That does not mean the whole room needs to come from one manufacturer. A Calligaris table may work better with a chair from another collection, while a rug or occasional table can be chosen independently. The aim is to build a room that works together rather than simply buy a matching furniture suite.
Extension mechanisms, chair comfort, finishes and the scale of larger furniture are all easier to understand physically. Bring measurements, photographs or plans if you have them; they give us a useful starting point for narrowing the collection by size and function before concentrating on appearance.
