Despite regularly working for some of Italy’s leading furniture brands – among them Gallotti & Radice, Baxter and Tacchini – Studiopepe often feels apart from the world of industrial design. Its design philosophy is based on extensive iconographic research, a conceptual approach to objects and a touch of the unexpected, giving a rich context to everything it does. Its penchant for ancient cultures, symbolism and the history of objects manifests itself into shapes, material combinations and concepts.
‘Studiopepe are able to communicate the worlds of furniture and interior design through a highly contemporary language,’ says Eleonore Cavalli, art director of Italian furniture brand Visionnaire. Cavalli has been following the studio’s evolution for several years, and recently presented the first in a series of collections dedicated to the five senses, created for the brand by Studiopepe co-founders Arianna Lelli Mami and Chiara Di Pinto. ‘Their desire to explore ancient materials by giving them a new meaning brought us a lot closer and pushed us to start this collaboration,’ adds Cavalli.
