In 2026, the line between fashion and interiors has all but disappeared. Meroni & Colzani were moving in this direction long before it went mainstream: their furniture is made by the rules of tailoring and inspired by the figure of the dandy.
Furniture Cut Like Fashion
Trend 1. Fashion and home speak the same language
At Milan Design Week 2026, fashion houses were everywhere: Versace Home showed the most architectural collection in its history, Armani Casa presented an Art Deco games table, and C.P. Company and Alessi launched a joint collection. Meroni & Colzani take the opposite route: a furniture maker that thinks like a fashion house. The brand itself compares every piece to a bespoke suit.
Even the model names are addresses of Italian fashion. The Via Condotti armchair is named after Rome's main luxury shopping street, and the Solferino nightstand after the boutique-lined street in Milan's Brera district.
Trend 2. Dandyism instead of quiet luxury
For several years the market lived under the banner of quiet luxury: beige, grey, no surprises. Now clients want more personality. Meroni & Colzani offer a dandy's answer: bold combinations of materials and colour, executed flawlessly. It is elegance that gets noticed without shouting.
Trend 3. Classic form, new material
Historic silhouettes in contemporary materials are one of the key themes of the season. Meroni & Colzani take forms from past eras and reinterpret them through new finishes. The result is furniture that feels familiar and new at the same time.
Trend 4. One maker, one look
For three generations Meroni made cabinetry, while Colzani made upholstery and textiles. The merger of the two family businesses delivered what interior designers look for today: bed, nightstands, armchairs and textiles from a single maker, in a single hand. And seven new designers in the Solomia Home catalogue make that hand more varied.
A Dandy in Dubai: Three Scenarios
A master suite like a hotel room on Via Condotti. A bed, Solferino nightstands and a Via Condotti armchair in one palette create a complete bedroom look. Instead of a collection of objects, the room gets a single “suit”.
A gentleman's study. Dandyism is, at heart, a masculine story. Deep wall colours, leather and dark wood, and one expressive armchair make the study feel like a private club in the heart of Milan.
A majlis with character. For entertaining guests, a bold mix of velvet and leather works better than monotone beige. Meroni & Colzani furniture shows the host's taste without logos or gilding.
Designer tips
- Build the room around one bold pairing, for example, bottle-green velvet with cognac leather.
- Use custom dimensions: the factory works to drawings, and Dubai villas rarely have standard-sized rooms.
- Plan ahead: every piece is handmade, and production usually takes around 9 to 12 weeks. Order in October, and your interior is ready for the winter season.
