The collections
Meridiani makes furnishings for the living and dining areas, the night area and outdoors, with neat, pure shapes and a constant search for new materials and textures. The brand's tagline, my home is ME, presents the home as a reflection of the person who lives in it.
- Live: modular and free-standing sofas such as René, with rounded seats and backs, curved elements and ottomans that can hold trays in wood, lacquer, glass, marble, leather or metal; armchairs, low tables and storage.
- Eat: dining tables such as Plinto, plus chairs and stools.
- Sleep: upholstered beds, night tables and benches.
- Open-Air: outdoor collections, first presented in 2007, that carry the materials and craftsmanship of the interiors outside.
Materials and craftsmanship
Meridiani's textiles include linen, cotton, velvet and chenille, alongside full-grain leather and hide finished with saddlery-inspired seams. Metals are matched to the colours of the lacquers, woods, marbles and resin, and the resin surfaces are processed entirely by hand.
Production combines the work of Brianza artisans with industrial processes, from a single production site in Misinto. Every original Meridiani product comes with a warranty certificate and a certificate guaranteeing its Italian origin.
