Meridian Furniture Steps Up Design Presence with Miami Firm

Meridian Furniture, a fast-growing furniture brand with high-style designs, continues to increase its presence with leading interior designers. Most recently, the company partnered with Ryan Locke, principal of Interior Atmosphere, an interior design firm based in Miami, Florida who looks to Meridian for style and speed.
According to Ryan, Meridian was a great fit as a vendor, not only because of the company’s on-trend style and color offerings, but the fact that most of his interior design projects operate on a very tight turnaround.
“Meridian really came through for me during my most recent project in the NYC theatre district on a tight installation deadline. I’ve found they can fulfill large orders with lightning speed, and they also offer multiple options in shipping and service levels when you check out with them on their website, including white glove service. They are truly one of the best resources I use for my clients.”
The designer met Meridian at the High Point Furniture Market last year and was immediately impressed by the company’s innovative furniture designs, custom solutions, and customer service.
“Understanding that they cater to interior designers, I jumped at the opportunity to gain them as a vendor,” he said. “Their style is universal across my projects and their finishes are ahead of the curve. And the ease of use of their website is really impressive.”
Indeed, according to Locke, Meridian’s designer portal is incredibly easy to use. Stocking an ever-changing selection of first-to-market modern furniture designs in multiple colors, sizes, and finish options ready for immediate delivery from their East Coast warehouse at any given time, Locke said he has quickly come to rely on Meridian as his firm’s main furniture source. “I buy from vendors across the board, but the variety of samples and ease of shopping are next-level beneficial for my business. They are quick to send finish samples and fabrics, and the president of their company, Michael Rosilio, personally reaches out all the time.”
In terms of specific products, Locke said Meridian excels in accent chairs, unique side tables and marble dining and occasional tables. “They don’t just stock one or two colors, they stock a spectrum of marble tables in multiple silhouettes available with extra details like fluting,” Locke said. “They offer a lot of look for the dollar, and the value on their real marble is exceptional. My client was blown away that she paid little more than $300 for a marble coffee table.”
“Ryan works on a flat fee basis and passes on his trade discounts to his clients, which is unique compared to how many other designers operate,” said Michael Rosilio, president of Meridian. “He is an innovator who delivers great results for his clients up and down the East Coast, and he understands just what consumers want now in their homes. We are honored to partner with Interior Atmosphere to help them deliver on their promise to clients.”
