Meridian reinterprets elemental materials into modern finishes that balance raw texture with refined design

A MATERIAL STORY OF MODERN TEXTURE

Some materials stand the test of time. Others define it. In a world where trends shift faster than the seasons, true design often returns to what is elemental, textures and tones that have shaped our spaces, our cultures and our sensibilities. Meridian celebrates this return. Bringing together four enduring materials, leather, lime, concrete and stone, it reimagines the language of surfaces through modern craftsmanship. It is a collection that doesn't just borrow from nature but converses with it.

Each texture in Meridian balances memory with modernity. The soft richness of leather, the grounded grit of stone, the rustic tenderness of lime, and the urban ruggedness of concrete, all are refined through innovation to preserve their essence while enhancing their aesthetic depth.

Curated in an earthy palette of warm neutrals, terracotta, soft greys and muted clays, the collection helps bring calm to contemporary interiors, allowing designers to create spaces that feel designed yet deeply personal.
