Founded by Arianna Lelli Mami and Chiara Di Pinto, the Milan-based design, architecture and creative agency Studiopepe has embarked on cross-brand projects spanning furniture, surfaces and accessories. Next up: a lighting collection with Italian brand Contardi.

Long-lasting, honest and aesthetic. Inspiration can come from everyday life, but then you see what echoes in your background, what is part of you. The goal is to be receptive.

What were the origins of your collaboration with Contardi and how did you find the process?
