Organic design

Meridiani’s collections feature gentle curves and top-quality materials, offering a harmony that blends nature with thoughtful design

The modern individual feels an increasing urgency to connect with nature. Our living spaces, which reflect our unique personalities, crave evocative elements that symbolize this natural dimension. Meridiani’s latest collections embrace this aesthetic, presenting a ‘biophilic’ design that prioritizes informal comfort, aiming for both physical and mental well-being. With their organic and ergonomic shapes, and smooth, rounded lines, these pieces foster conversation and relaxation. Crafted from high-quality materials, they offer moments of complete tranquility in spaces that are both lively and instinctive.

Among the standout pieces are the Cosette and Claudine chairs. Featuring unique silhouettes and rounded volumes, they are complementary yet independent. Cosette is noted for its elegant design, while Claudine serves as both a dining chair and a compact armchair with a monolithic style.

The Jeanette armchair stands out for its sculptural form and enveloping cylindrical backrest that doubles as an arm, perfect for smaller spaces. Lastly, the Gino pouf, with its round seat and three cylindrical legs, is a playful and versatile addition, available in various finishes. These furnishings achieve a balance between functionality and natural beauty, transforming homes into welcoming and dynamic retreats.
