Studiopepe celebrates 1970s glamour with secret "members' club" in Milan
Studiopepe opened a private venue during Milan design week called Club Unseen, featuring retro furniture, intimate music performances and cocktails made by disembodied bartenders.
The Milan-based studio, led by designers Arianna Lelli Mami and Chiara Di Pinto, took over the ground floor of a late 19th-century warehouse in the city's Piazza Tricolore neighbourhood to create the immersive installation.
"The aim this year was to create a secret members club, a place where people could go, drink a cocktail and spend time with friends," Mami told Dezeen. "Once you are here, you feel this sensation that you are in a haven, away from the hectic time of Salone."
The club was arranged across seven distinct rooms ? including three living rooms, a bar, dining room and beauty parlour ? with interiors combining graphic shapes, grid patterns, pastels and metallic finishes. The aim, according to Mami, was to capture the spirit of some of the nightclubs of the 1970s.
"Those years are fascinating to us ? the colours and materials were very glamorous," she said. "We wanted to create that here but with a twist."
Design products crafted by Studiopepe, in collaboration with a selection of design brands, were used to furnish the rooms. They were displayed alongside vintage furniture, artworks and limited-edition classics from brands such as Cassina and Tacchini.
The bespoke products designed by Studiopepe included a round wall mirror produced by It...
