Good Design Awards at Calligaris

At Calligaris OC showroom at SOCO in Costa Mesa you can find the complete line of the celebrated Italian furniture brand’s elegant and modern collection designed with the highest level of functionality

And two of its products, the Bahia and Lazy just won the 2016 Good Design Awards and are now part of the Permanent Design Collection of the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design. The annual award celebrates the world’s most innovative industrial, product and graphic designs; and recognizes excellence in innovation, construction, function and utility.

The Bahia collection boasts a range of brightly colorful chairs and stools with unique wraparound design of the backrest, reminiscent of two large, conjoined petals; described by designers Dondoli e Pocci as ‘an inspired, organic shape’.

The Lazy armchair designed by Michele Menescardi for Calligaris features sinuous lines and a wide, cozy seat, turning it into the perfect companion for relaxation. Thanks to its welcoming curves and its broad seat, Lazy is suitable for home or contract use. Lazy is available in fabric or leather upholstery; with your choice of base: wooden, metal or metal swivel.

Open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
