Hello Sonia is a collection of carpets designed by the duo StudioPepe for the brand cc-tapis. Available in two sizes and several colours, Hello Sonia rugs are distinguished by their pattern that alternates touches of colour and black lines on a light background. The result is a visually-striking, light carpet that stands out without imposing itself. Made of Himalayan wool and silk, Hello Sonia carpets are hand-woven in Nepal.
For Arianna Lelli Mami and Chiara Di Pinto, the ultra-creative duo behind the Studiopepe agency, it all began in 2006 on the benches of Milan's prestigious Politecnico. This city, which sets the tempo for the whole of Italy, soon smiled on the two brilliant graduates. In the space of ten years, their multidisciplinary vision, inherited from the richness of their respective studies - interior architecture in the case of one, industrial design in the case of the other - has hit the mark. Styling advice for magazine pages, set designs, boutique makeovers and, more recently, interior design, Studiopepe has proved one thing: its ability to get people talking. Their philosophy is based on a conceptual approach inspired by the unexpected, and on extensive iconographic and visionary experience, generating unique results.Their attention to detail, and the emotion they can generate in people, is fundamental to their projects.The initial brief was very clear: to bring together furniture and family heirlooms with contemporary pieces. With colour, Studiopepe unfurls an elegant and warm imagination. One impressive piece follows another, dusted off by a tasteful blend of luxurious materials (brass, marble, velvet), rare and reissued creations (including those by Gio Ponti and Angelo Mangiarotti) and vintage items.

CC-TAPIS
CC-Tapis is an Italian company that manufactures hand-woven contemporary rugs created in Nepal by Tibetan master craftsmen. In 2011, CC-Tapis moved to Milan, where the company is now based. Its artistic director and partner, Daniele Lora, leads a team of designers there that innovate through a new approach to traditional methods. Weighty respect for the materials and culture of the ancestral profession is reflected in CC-Tapis’s environmentally-friendly approach at every stage of production, from spinning the softest Himalayan wool to using purified rainwater. Patricia Urquiola designed the "Visioni" collection for CC-Tapis: a 2-piece series featuring geometric shapes and soft colours.
