Studipepe’s Silos Collection of Tables for Uniqka

Leave it to Studiopepe to turn something as ubiquitous and commonplace as silos containers into a source of inspiration for a collection that is so elegant, you’re surprised to learn of its origins. Unveiled earlier this year at Milan Design Week, the Silos Collection is a collaboration between Studiopepe, a Milan-based multidisciplinary agency founded by Arianna Lelli Mami and Chiara Di Pinto, and Uniqka, a modern design brand from Istanbul. The designers recalled the grand and sculptural volumes of industrial silos and translated their features into a family of charming low tables.

Silos is memorable for its generously sized legs that unmistakably recall the tall and wide forms of silos. The legs are wrapped in vegetable-tanned leather and support tabletops made from various materials, including luxurious travertine, supple leather, warm wood, and powder-coated steel. Because of the curved features of the legs, the tables create an interplay of light and shadow that change throughout the day. Available in three sizes, Silos is flexible in where it can be placed, whether by the bed as a nightstand, casually in a lounge space, or spotlighted in the center of a living room. The collection, though modest in inspiration, exudes an elegance and simplicity that transcends time and temporary trends.
