High Point, NC – October 2025 – Calligaris, the Italian design company founded in 1923 in Manzano, proudly announces its 2025 “Pink Project,” an initiative created in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. This year, Calligaris USA is partnering with National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) to extend its message of awareness and support to communities across North America.
At the center of the project is a limited-edition candle holder, designed by the Florentine studio Ferriani Sbolgi. Two forms embrace in a sculptural gesture of closeness, with a candle at its heart representing light, hope, and resilience.
“As a company, we believe design can be a force for dialogue and positive change,” said Paolo Pantaloni, Marketing & Sales Director at Calligaris USA. “Pink Project allows us to merge creativity with compassion, supporting a cause that touches countless lives while using design to symbolize unity and hope.”
As part of this collaboration, Calligaris will be giving back through Pink Project 2025 to support NBCF’s mission of providing help and inspiring hope to those affected by breast cancer through early detection, education, and support services.
“This candle holder was designed to represent solidarity and compassion,” explained Ferriani Sbolgi, the Florentine design studio behind the piece. “It is a reminder of the strength that comes from connection and mutual support.”
In addition, Calligaris will share a series of portraits and digital storytelling moments featuring women from its global network, including team members, designers, and partners. These stories aim to highlight resilience, encourage dialogue, and shine a light on the importance of awareness.
With “Pink Project” 2025, Calligaris reaffirms its belief that design can be more than aesthetic; it can be a tool for connection, care, and meaningful cultural engagement.
