BRH+ | Barbara Brondi & Marco Rainò

Barbara Brondi and Marco Rainò (Turin, 1970), architects and designers, are

the founders of BRH+. The firm, established in 2002, centres its theory and practice

on design, expressed through an experimental, critical, curatorial approach that

intentionally merges a number of separate disciplines.

Infused with this cross-contamination, their architectural projects - the subject

of many publications both in Italy and abroad - are on different scales and have

different intended uses, while their radius of action also includes graphic and product

design, curation and artistic direction (they have worked, amongst others, for Vivienne

Westwood, Subsonica, Marlene Kuntz and Adidas).

Their critical work in the area of new design has led them to establish the

IN Residence project, which has now been running for a decade and promotes

and highlights the leading up-and-coming talents in the next generation of

international design.

With the backing of the Turin Chamber of Commerce, they have created

and promoted the MARCA collection, bringing together outstanding design and

manufacturing from the Turin area.

They have conceived and curated a large number of collective exhibitions over

the years, including Over Design Over at the Rocca Paolina in Perugia in 2009 and

Fatto in Italia at the Venaria Reale Palace in 2016.

They were Art Directors of Bravacasa Interior Design monthly for RCS Periodici

from 2011 to 2013 and for the contemporary furniture company LAGO since 2014.

In addition to writing for Abitare, Domus and Inventario, Marco Rainò writes

editorials for Icon Design and directs the Interior Design Department at IAAD, Turin.
