Leather
Leather is obtained by using a thicker layer of European ox skin. It is first tanned and then given a finishing coat.
Regenerated leather is the result of the mixture of leather off-cuts (min 60%) and other natural materials. Regenerated leather is finished with the same procedure used for leather.
Calligaris uses leather which comes from the finest part of the European ox skin (the core) cut in different thicknesses depending on the requests and then tanned. The external finish is obtained by using water based colors.
Fabric
Fabrics are pleasant to the touch, stain resistant and colorfast. The exclusive Teflon™ fabric protector stain-proof treatment protects fabrics from dry, wet and oily stains. Silver Protection Treatment (silver icons), has antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal properties.

Wood
SOLID WOOD. Obtained by cutting the tree log through a mechanic process. The aesthetic features and grain pattern depend on the wood essence. Solid wood is usually varnished (finishing process) and reproduces the typical essence shades.
MELAMINE FINISHES – THERMAL STRUCTURED SURFACES. Obtained by gluing plain coloured or patterned sheets which are spread on the visible layer with melamine resins on a wooden grain panel (support). Melamine coated panels allow a great variety of aesthetic solutions, they are durable and have excellent stability and resistance to wear and tear.
VENEERS. Veneer is obtained by using thin sheets of wood with different thicknesses which are taken from the best quality tree logs. Veneer layers are usually glued to a support and then stained accordingly. Veneer increases the quality of the products and delivers an excellent aesthetic result.
LAMINATED FINISHES. Obtained by pressure gluing various layers of fibrous material soaked in thermosetting resins and spread on the visible layer (plain colored or patterned) with melamine resins. They are then glued on a wooden grain panel (support). Laminated panels allow a great variety of aesthetic solutions and have excellent stability, resistance to wear and tear, collisions, abrasion and humidity.
