The strength of Calligaris lies mainly in their products, a strength which increases constantly day after day. Their selection of dining sets, dining tables, dining chairs and bar furniture is unparalleled. The unique combination of quality, technology and style represents the recipe that attracts a diverse range of customers. The company is constantly developing new projects to suit the needs of today’s life, keeping functionality and taste as its most important characteristics. Their goal is to create products which will be chosen for their handiness, elegance and comfort.
Calligaris was founded in 1923, when Antonio Calligaris produced his very first chair -- the "Marocca" model. In the 1930's, Antonio passed the family-owned business onto his son, Romeo. After thirty years, Romeo Calligaris was ultimately able to develop his father's once small, Italian furniture store into an innovative, industry-leading company. Calligaris became so successful, that by the 1990's, the company began selling its products internationally, and expanded into four new countries, including the United States.
Today Calligaris continues its legacy as an industry leader. With a strong focus on technology and development, Calligaris still finds its most important resource is the people who develop and manufacture its products, enabling the company to stay at the forefront of the furniture industry. The results of this are found in the “freedom of living” concept, which emphasizes extreme versatility and functionality. This allows the consumer to shape their living space to exactly their specifications.
This table is gorgeous! I love the deep brown opaque coffee glass contrast with the brushed steel finish. It looks modern, elegant, and white accessories look beautiful on it. After much searching, I found Calligharis chairs to match (same leg shape and style) but they had to be ordered from Italy. Worth the wait. The VQ size has 2 glass pieces on top while larger VR has 1 continuous piece and looks better (leaf is below table). Nice narrowish width for a smaller room. I have it in a large eat in kitchen and it would look smashing in a formal DR too.

we have a very narrow dining room, and this table fits perfectly. It is narrow and rather small, yet can expand to accommodate 8 people. It's hard to find an all glass tabletop with an extension leaf. It's very solidly built too. [...] Overall, we're very happy with the table.
