Company representative Mike McAllister, in announcing the opening of Calligaris OC, noted that the showroom is one of two Calligaris stores in the western U.S.

The store features an interactive totem where shoppers may select a furnishing and change the look with a tap on an assortment of colors and patterns.

“Calligaris is known for being very fashion-forward in design, and we look forward to really presenting our home pieces here,” McAllister said.

Calligaris is at 3315 Hyland Ave., Costa Mesa. Store hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays.
