01 — Brand history
Meridiani: Contemporary Italian Living since 1996
Meridiani was founded in 1996 in Misinto, in the Brianza district about 20 km north of Milan. Renato Crosti, with more than thirty years of experience in upholstery, started the company from an idea of his wife Laura Ferraro Crosti and of designer Andrea Parisio. The brand was officially presented at the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 2000.
Andrea Parisio has been art director since the beginning and designs the Meridiani collections, as well as the image of its flagship stores and trade-fair stands. Production takes place in the company's own 10,000 m² facility in Misinto, 100% made in Italy. Since 2016 Meridiani has been part of Dexelance, formerly Italian Design Brands.
The Ludwig cabinet and the Zoe small armchair, both by Andrea Parisio, have won Wallpaper* Design Awards. The collection furnishes the whole home: sofas and sofa beds, armchairs, tables, storage, beds and the Open Air outdoor line.
