It’s absolutely no secret I am head over heals in love with the work of Milan based agency Studiopepe (remember this post? You guys went a little bit bonkers with the images on Pinterest).

Arianna Lelli Mami and Chiara Di Pinto have an unparalleled vision and an incredibly sharp aesthetic for exceptional interiors, art direction, styling and set design. Beautiful, edgy, yet accessible, Studiopepe continues to set the bar high for their highly spirited environments and experiences. Based in Milan, it comes as no surprise their work was on show in many, many places during the Milan Design Week. Hooray! Of course, being the shameless opportunist that I am, I jumped at the opportunity to show you some of the beautiful work they did.

Above images are from the installation at the legendary Milan store Spotti titled “Happy office happy home”. The installation featured a number of examples of USM Swiss modular furniture in a series of interpretations of the modular system in vibrant colours in various settings. How clever to be able to reinterpret office furniture for the home in such a beautiful and spirited way. Also do note the clever use of the dreaded vertical blinds in pastel colours throughout the space. So, so good!

Next door also at Spotti, was an exhibition curated by Studiopepe called Raw-Tech. The show featured a selection of products united by the desire of going rough and natural, combining raw materials with modern techniques or reinventing old crafts using new materials and knowledge. “Prime materials like stone, wood, wheat, fruit and vegetables or natural wax form the basis of the products while the rain, the sand or the drying process influence and shape the designs, giving them a strong and raw character.”

Italian premium bedding and textile company Ivano Redaelli, enlisted Studiopepe for the design and creative direction of their stand at Salone del Mobile 2013. The world of Ivano Redaelli is one of glamorous luxury, and their stand was designed to capture this mood. Ivano Redaelli pieces furnish the castles, palaces and yachts of the rich and famous, and the cream of European society. I mean, can’t you tell? Photos by Silvia Rivoltella.

And last, but definitely not least, a stand at Euroluce/ Salone del Mobile for the fantastic NYC lighting company Roll&Hill. Studiopepe were responsible for set up and styling of this small and very beautiful stand.


 

How are you going there? I know, so many moments of Extreme Love and pure Visual Ecstasy, it’s just not fair! Very sorry to fry your eyes with all this beauty. Maybe I’ll post something ugly tomorrow to balance it out… YEAH RIGHT! Anyway, if you can cope, there’s more to be discovered in the gallery below. Have fun!

    Well I never thought I’d see vertical blinds on yellowtrace! It’s amazing how the ugliest window furnishing somehow looks cool.

      Hahaha! I know, right? I NEVER dreamed of posting about vertical blinds either. Another proof that with great vision anything is possible. I seriously love these girls x

    Such a fun yet elegant, refined look. A bit like a superstylin’ doll’s house – I could imagine retro life-sized mannequins or Barbies in the rooms.
