Calia Italia, established in Matera in 1965, is the most ancient company of the Upholstery Furniture District in Basilicata. Calia Italia’s history begins with his founder Liborio Vincenzo Calia, a skilled master carpenter who started creating and producing sofas in Matera. The company designs, manufactures and exports worldwide sofas and chairs in leather and fabric, known for their outstanding craftsmanship, care for details, attention to design and unmistakable comfort. Under Saverio Calia’s artistic direction and Giuseppe Calia’s commercial strategy, Calia Italia is now able to introduce more than 50 new models a year, with a wide range of covers in leather and fabric: a collection of approximately 40 different items available in over 400 colors. Calia Italia distributes its commercial offer to a continuous growing international market, that from Europe opens up to the Middle East, reaching the Far East, with China, Korea and Japan at the top of the list, thanks to an overall Italian production located in the Murgia area of Matera, the core of the Upholstery District, and to a state-of-the-art logistic system.
