Liborio Vincenzo Calia, Calia Italia’s founder, was born in 1926. He started attending an artisan workshop when he was very young. There he learnt how to make carpentry works, realizing different types of objects made of wood from useful tools to works of outstanding workmanship to decorate any house. In 1944, when he was only 18, he started his own business, and in 1965 he started a research project that would end up in designing and producing a single kind of products, conceived to make people feel good: upholstered furniture. Since then, his team have been manufacturing sofas with an accessible, democratic design with care and attention to details in Matera to reach any place in the world.

Description
Created from the experience of Giuggiola and its versatility, its thousand facets, and its various “outfits”, Madame G is the first European version of the ‘Italian Lady’, who wears a new outfit and becomes even more international. The new French version, also available in swivel and storage versions, will become an expression of ‘Made in Italy’ in the world and will mark the beginning of a collection that will give life to a ‘Madame’ for each country. The seat of the MADAME G swivel armchair remains unchanged with its characteristic tail base reminiscent of the train of an evening dress. However, the back of the Madame G swivel armchair, which in the Giuggiola is woven and inspired by the particular hair bun traditionally worn by the women of our territory, is transformed into a sumptuous tulip, whose corolla is held together by elegant buttons inspired by capitonné workmanship.
- STRUCTURE pinewood, multilayer, and plywood covered with polyurethane foam for the seat; metal backrest frame available in white or Grau Braun finish. Swivel versions rest on a metal swivel mechanism.
- SEAT PADDING seat cushion in ecological polyurethane foam covered with 100% polyester layer
