About Calligaris Calligaris was born in 1923 in Manzano as a small craft workshop by Antonio Calligaris for the production of the Marocca chair, that was characterised by the wooden frame and straw seat, typical artifact of the area.

From humble beginnings to now the 1990’s, people in the district became aware of the importance of self-promotion as well as the national and global distribution. The Friuli chair established itself on the Italian market and also abroad until it covered about 80% of the domestic demand with a strong presence in Europe, USA and far east. During these years the Chair District saw a widespread unprecedented wealth reaching extremely low unemployment levels and unmatched levels and unmatched production capacity. In 1986, Alessandro Calligaris, third generation of the family, was appointed President of the company. Calligaris expands it’s range with complete furnishing solutions : chairs, tables and occasional furniture. Wood is not the only materials on which Calligaris measures it’s vocation for innovation any more. The company, in fact, also works with metal, plastic, Leather and Glass. In 1988 inaugurates the frst branch in the US in High Point (North Carolina). 2000-2020 The years following the 2000 are the deciding years for Calligaris, in order to establish itself as an international company. In 2007, L Capital, a private equity fund sponsored by the luxury giant LVMH acquires a 40% stake starting a new branding, communication (traditional and digital) and retail strategy. In 2008 opens the frst Flagship Store in Milan which is then followed by the ones in Paris and London. Calligaris source all of it’s Ceramic Surfaces via industry leader Laminam: Superior Natural Surfaces. Laminam’s philosophy The Company philosophy has always found its strengths in product and process innovation. In fact, Laminam was the frst Company in the world to industrialize the production process for ceramic slabs of large size and minimum thickness. Laminam pursues innovation aimed at the continuous improvement of the sustainability characteristics of its products such as the use of natural raw materials, recyclability and durability as well as the ability to promote a healthy environment. Furthermore, in recent years, great attention has been dedicated to the search for sustainability solutions related to the decoration of surfaces. In this context, the introduction of water-based inks allows to guarantee the inalterability of the characteristics and chromatic properties of the slabs, as well as to improve their sustainability.

Other fabric op=ons are 10-12 week lead =me. - When mixing fabrics/ leathers the chair price is the most expensive fabric used so, if you mix a grade 3 fabric with grade 1 then price is grade 3.

About Classic Furniture Classic Furniture are wholesalers and distributors of Dining, Living and Bedroom cabinet furniture and chairs sourced from quality manufacturers around the world. These products are then stocked within a UK warehouse and distributed to retailers around the United Kingdom mainland with their in house delivery fleet. Classic Furniture was established in 1989 as UK furniture manufacturers. The factory saw rapid growth up until 2001, when demand far exceeded output. Therefore some product was brought in from external sources to increase output. Slowly over the following 7 years production was switched from UK production to overseas operations and finally UK production ceased in 2008. At this time the factory was converted to a 120,000 sq.ft warehouse and distribution centre. With this dedicated UK operation, David could concentrate on sourcing products that could be added to their product portfolio, and provide retailers with quality products combined with an outstanding delivery and customer support service. Classic Furniture prides themselves in carrying high stock levels on quality product lines in modern designs using many different materials. These will be delivered to your retail outlet within 4-6 weeks. Products can be collected ex works if required. At the Classic Furniture centre in Lincolnshire there are trade showrooms to show the latest products on offer and see the products first hand should you wish. An appointment would be required to make sure a member of our sales team is available to assist you.

About Ekornes The legendary Stressless ® recliner was born on the west coast of Norway, in the small community of Sykkylven, where our main factory still lies. Jens Ekornes founded the company in 1934, after which an unbroken lineage of proud craftsmen have produced some of the world’s finest furniture. In a place where resources were scarce, everything had to be built to last. That philosophy still resides within the factory walls.

History

Over 50 years of forward thinking In 1934, Jens Ellingsen Ekornes (pictured) founded a furniture company. Soon thereafter, the J. E. Ekornes Fjærfabrikk (Spring Factory) – which had just three employees and used machines made in Germany – found its frst customers and began successfully selling springs for furniture and mattresses throughout Norway.

When the Stressless ® Original was launched in 1971, it was an unprecedented success. Today, a Stressless ® recliner, sofa or dining chair is still assembled by hand, with the aid of the most sophisticated technology available in furniture manufacturing. As new designs continue to be born here in the fjord landscape, our main goal remains unchanged: The most comfortable seating experience ever.

Craftsmanship

Quality and care The caring nature of our employees is based on generations of knowledge about furniture and on a culture which, for fve decades, has been carried by solid principles for the design and processing of materials. Experience Nordic comfort Norwegian design is defned by the same sense of functionality and quality materials as the broader Nordic design tradition, but along the fjords, our aesthetic sensibility is strongly infuenced by the magnifcence of nature. This provides more than a touch of poetry and freedom. However, it still requires hard work to turn what nature provides into excellent products. Nordic heritage Stressless ® origins and surroundings are the foundation for design and innovation. The brand is committed to sustainability, simplicity and a Norwegian Design

democratic outlook on life. This provides a legacy that Stressless ® symbolises across borders and markets.

About Skovby

HANDCRAFTED FURNITURE FOR NINE DECADES For three generations, the passion for wood and good craftmanship has been the driving force of the 100 percent Danish-owned family business in Eastern Jutland. Skovby was founded in 1933 by cabinetmaker Thorvald Rasmussen. He was a visionary man who even then created the foundation for the company we see today. He was uncompromising and professionally proud, and from the start produced furniture of the best quality. Today, Skovby work purposefully to preserve the traditions surrounding Danish design and good craftmanship, and to ensure a skilled workforce in the future by always having young carpenters and upholsters in training. ANNIVERSARY EDITION #33 DINING TABLE The Skovby #33 dining table is equipped with a unique extension system. By turning the turnable under the tabletop the three leaves move synchronously to a position that makes room for the extension leaves, that pops-up from the base, where they are hidden. We have added the popular piece to our Anniversary Collection with two new special edition laminate colours.
