DESIGNER’s STORY
Born in Lodi in 1964 Andrea Parisio, art director and designer of MERIDIANI, attended the European Design Institute in Milan and graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Pavia.
After a rich experience in designing residential and commercial spaces, in 1996 Parisio joined the company and cooperated with Laura Ferraro Crosti, when opening the first store in Milan, a space / laboratory of ideas, in which his designs were born and showcased, giving life to a home collection.
A collection that, over the years, has expanded and consolidated, while maintaining a clear direction: the desire to create a range of contemporary products which did not betray the lesson of the past and could give rise to a ‘timeless’ collection, able to assimilate the new trends and transcend the whims of the more extreme design.
As an artistic director Parisio coordinates the brand image, designs the corporate showrooms and stores and the exhibition settings at the international furniture shows.
Andrea Parisio lives and works in Milan.
