Meridiani

Furniture Sofas & Seating Total Living Made in Italy

Meridiani is the quiet sophisticate of Italian contemporary living. Founded in 1996 in Lombardy and shaped by creative director Andrea Parisio, the house works in a refined, almost tonal palette — soft neutrals, warm woods, marble and bronze — across a complete program of sofas, armchairs, dining, beds and outdoor. The result is recognizable without shouting: versatile pieces that read as calm and considered, built to a fully Made-in-Italy standard. Meridiani has a growing US presence, including a Miami showroom. Via della Seta sources Meridiani directly for residential and hospitality projects across the United States — handling specification, freight, customs and white-glove installation under one contract.

Why specify Meridiani for an interior project

Meridiani is the calm, coordinated choice. Andrea Parisio designs the whole catalog in one refined language, so the sofa, the dining chair, the bed and the side tables share a palette and a sensibility — neutral upholstery, warm wood, marble and bronze details. For a designer composing a serene, tonal interior, that internal coherence does a lot of the work: pieces from across the collection sit together without clashing, and the look stays sophisticated rather than loud.

It is also genuinely total-home. Meridiani covers living, dining, bedroom and outdoor, so a single account can furnish a whole residence in a consistent character — the Oscar and Roger sofas, the Belmon and accent chairs, the Louis and René bedroom pieces, the dining and occasional tables, and a full outdoor line. Pieces are built to order with control over dimension, fabric, leather and finish, and the neutral-led palette makes Meridiani especially easy to specify alongside strong architecture and art.

Via della Seta sources Meridiani directly. We work from the spec — model, configuration, dimensions, fabric or leather, wood and metal finish — confirm it against current production, manage ocean or air freight, US customs clearance and white-glove delivery to site, and consolidate the Meridiani package with the rest of your specification (lighting, kitchens, smart home) under one contract and one timeline.

Care & maintenance

Upholstery fabrics

Meridiani covers range from removable to fixed depending on model. Vacuum regularly, rotate and plump seat and back cushions to keep their shape, and treat spills promptly. Confirm the cleaning code and whether covers are removable per model at order.

Leather

Aniline and semi-aniline leathers develop a patina over time. Keep out of sustained direct sunlight to limit fade, dust with a soft dry cloth, and condition occasionally with a leather-appropriate product. Avoid solvent cleaners.

Wood, marble & metal

Wood, marble and bronze details are finished for long use. Dust with a soft dry cloth and use surface-appropriate products; wipe marble promptly after contact with anything acidic, and avoid abrasives that mark bronze and lacquer finishes.

What is Meridiani's style?

Refined and tonal. Meridiani works in a soft, neutral palette — muted upholstery, warm wood, marble and bronze — across sofas, seating, dining, bedroom and outdoor. Designed in one language by creative director Andrea Parisio, the look is recognizable but quiet: sophisticated, versatile pieces that coordinate easily and let architecture and art lead.

Can I buy Meridiani in the United States through Via della Seta?

Yes. Meridiani has a growing US presence, including a Miami showroom, and Via della Seta sources it directly for residential and hospitality projects nationwide — including luxury residences in California, Florida, New York and Texas. We handle specification, factory order, ocean or air freight, US customs clearance and white-glove delivery to site.

Does Meridiani furnish a whole home?

Yes. Meridiani is a total-home house — living, dining, bedroom and outdoor, plus tables, consoles, sideboards and accessories. Because the whole catalog shares one palette and hand, a single specification can furnish an entire residence in a consistent, tonal character.

Can I specify my own fabric (COM) on a Meridiani sofa?

Yes. Meridiani accepts Customer's Own Material on most upholstered pieces, alongside a wide in-house fabric and leather program. COM and custom dimensions typically run 16–20 weeks rather than the standard 12–16. We confirm cover and finish options per model at order.

Who designs Meridiani?

Andrea Parisio is Meridiani's creative director and designs the great majority of the collection, which is why it reads so coherently across living, dining and bedroom. The consistency of one hand across the whole catalog is central to the brand's calm, tonal character.

Does Meridiani make outdoor furniture?

Yes. Meridiani runs an outdoor program in the same neutral language as the indoor collection, with weather-rated frames and performance textiles, so a project can carry the tonal Meridiani character from the living room out to the terrace as one specification.

How does Meridiani compare to Minotti and Flexform?

Minotti is the architectural seating-system choice; Flexform the comfort-led sofa reference. Meridiani sits beside them as the tonal, total-home choice — a calmer, more neutral palette designed in one hand across living, dining and bedroom. It is the brand to specify when the interior should feel serene and coordinated. We specify across all three where the brief calls for it.

What are typical Meridiani lead times for projects in the US?

Standard pieces in cataloged covers ship 12–16 weeks ex-Italy. COM fabrics, custom dimensions or contract-volume orders run 16–20 weeks. For projects with a fixed install date we recommend confirming the spec at least 5 months out so production, freight and US customs clearance fit comfortably inside the schedule.
