Self-reflection is key for Milan’s Studiopepe, which conjures up a new mirror design for Visionnaire
Studiopepe’s Arianna Lelli Mami and Chiara Di Pinto with their ‘Blanche’ mirror, part of the designers’ Empire of the Senses collection for Visionnaire.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.
‘We’ve always been intrigued by the mirror as an object,’ explains Lelli Mami. ‘It’s a symbol of entering another dimension, dreamlike and intimate. When you walk past a mirror, you look at yourself. We liked the idea of masking it, adding a sense of mystery through a symbol to discover.’ ‘Through our projects, we deal with design, but also with symbols: we like to investigate the symbolic aspects of the objects that surround us,’ says Di Pinto. Their work has often led them to delve deep into disciplines such as tarot, alchemy and astrology, which they incorporate into their designs.
