Meridiani was born in 1996 from a simple yet passionate idea of Laura Ferraro Crosti, wife of Renato Crosti, founder of the company: to design, manufacture and distribute a new home collection. After researches driven by passion and expertise the first collection was born in spring 1996 and it was entirely manufactured in Italy. It was the result of the enthusiasm and collaboration between Laura and the designer Andrea Parisio, art director of the brand. In 2016 the company joined IDB – Italian Design Brands S.p.A. with the goal of strengthening an already important presence of its brand on international markets and developing synergies in innovative areas through digital transformation processes, shared commercial strategies and new distribution channels, among which the contract sector. The Meridiani sales network is currently present in more than fifty Countries with flagship Stores in Milan, Rome, Paris, Miami, London, Singapore, Munich, Amsterdam and Moscow.
