Meroni & R. Fossati - founded in 1870, it was one of the oldest and most important furniture factories in Lissone, a small town in Brianza specialized in the furniture industry. In 1895 Meroni & Fossati reached an international connotation by opening a branch in Paris, a factory in Clamart and sales points in Rome, Milan, Varese, Paris and Vienna; warehouses in Constantinople, Amsterdam, Brussels, Zurich, London, Alexandria and in various cities of Italy. The most important Italian designers, including Gio Ponti & Emilio Lancia, Guglielmo Urlich, have used Meroni & Fossati for the production of furniture, bringing considerable fame to this industry About Gio Ponti & Emilio Lancia The close collaboration between Gio Ponti and Emilio Lancia led to the creation of some fantastic projects in the new style called "Novecento", which was linked to the neoclassical tradition with clean and refined lines. Emilio Lancia was an Italian architect, and one of the leading exponents of the "Novecento" style. He attended the Architecture course at the Royal Higher Technical Institute, where he met Giuseppe de Finetti. At the outbreak of the First World War he attended the Military Academy of Turin together with Gio Ponti and during the war he met Giovanni Muzio and Mino Fiocchi; at the end of the war he finished his studies and, after a period of practice in Luca Beltrami's studio, he opened a studio in via Sant'Orsola with de Finetti and Muzio. After some youthful projects, which received considerable appreciation, he began to collaborate continuously with Gio Ponti, realizing some projects in the new style called "Novecento", which was linked to the Lombard neoclassical tradition. A progressive evolution towards Rationalism followed, accepted however only in some of its formal aspects, which led to a definitive break with Ponti. Lancia continued his career with several prestigious projects.
