The history of the Lema company began in 1930 when Italian entrepreneur Angelo Meroni opened his first store in the small town of Arosio. At that time, the store sold furniture crafted in a classical style. Ten years later, in 1940, the family business flourished, leading to the opening of another store in Milan. During this time, Meroni established connections with numerous architects and designers who excelled in creating interior pieces. In 1970, the owner's sons decided to officially name the company, and to this day, Lema manufactures and sells modern furniture.
New Solutions for Home Comfort
The Meroni family's factory became the first in Italy to produce custom-made wardrobes. Fresh ideas, such as the development of load-bearing side panels, became the company's trademark. The catalog offers solutions for any interior, and the variety of modifications and finishes create the impression that the company has considered all possible combinations.
Designers' Developments
Lema has been a leader in exclusive furniture for several decades. However, since Piero Lissoni became the creative director in 1994, originality has become synonymous with Lema. The designer insisted that modern furniture should not only be beautiful but also functional and well thought out.
A contemporary interior is incomplete without sleek furniture.
