Resulting from a scientific partnership with La Sapienza University of Rome (as part of the Industrial Design degree course), Giuggiola is a Calia Italia armchair that exalts the beauty and strength of women. The back of the armchair represents an important symbol in that it is made up of a special weave that evokes the ancient art of creating bun-shaped hairstyles (known as ‘crocchia’) by the women who lived in the Sassi di Matera. Originally, a ‘crocchia’ was made with a three-pronged braid, whereas the Giuggiola braid is made up of as many as 12 strands, reflecting the craftsmanship acquired in over 60 years of history. Characterised by its elegant tail base reminiscent of the train of an evening dress, this armchair is available in fixed, swivel and storage seat versions.
The Superior Collection sees Calia Italia inaugurate a new concept of style. The models of the collection are true design objects that are born from the union of worlds, stimuli and inspirations of a different nature. They are the products of collaborations with external designers, the realisation of social projects, participation in cultural events and synergy with universities. Each sofa has its own style and each style has its own story. The result is a unique comfort experience.
