It was a pleasurable experience for Florence Ko and husband William when they met Alessandro Calligaris, the visionary designer and founder of Calligaris, during one of their business trips in Milan. Calligaris, the world-class Italian brand, recently became the official sponsor of the Italian Expo 2010 in Shanghai.
The premier furniture line attained a worldwide presence and strong brand visibility during the prestigious design affair wherein over 500 chairs of its Alchemia are used to furnish the Italian restaurant and the VIP lounge where special meetings and presentations were made.
The highly-anticipated convention was a showcase of the best design concepts in the industry as well as the latest handcrafted, industrial and artistic products.
This include the newest Calligaris collection, which combines metal, wood, glass, techno-plastic, cowhide and fabrics with the exceptional touch of renowned designers and the company’s brilliant craftsmanship to create beautiful, practical and innovative pieces of furniture for the home and collective spaces.
The successful event was attended by the world’s top designers, artists and prominent personalities including madame Liu Yongqing, wife of Republic of China president Hu Jintao to name a few.
