Bruno Rainaldi
Italian designer Bruno Rainaldi is a curious and utopian designer, known for experimenting with codes of expression. He liked to describe his work as ‘chaotically rigorous’.
Over the course of his career, Bruno designed bookshelves, tables, chairs, sofas, armchairs, beds, accessories, and lightning. His work represents a universe of intense and iconic objects without a consistency in style, but rather with a real sense of industrial design: to produce the right object for the right use. What unites these objects is the essentiality of their design, their freedom of use, and their compositional versatility. Bruno began his career as an interior designer at a young age. After directing the first ever ‘High-Tech’ at Corso di Porta Ticinese, he partnered with Enrico Baleri to found Baleri & Associati, a firm that specialized in communications strategies for companies and design stores.
Later, he founded Studio Rari — a design firm studio that collaborated with several Italian design companies like Alivar, MDF, Mussi Italy, Sintesi, Terzani, Slamp, Casprini, Annibale Colombo, Bilumen, and Davide Medri e Dilmos.
In 2003, Bruno and Flavia Ciatti joined forces to establish CCR, a successful furniture and accessory firm brand that produced the bestselling Ptolomeo bookshelf, for which Bruno was awarded the Compasso d’Oro in 2004.
In 2006, CCR began a new chapter under the leadership of industrial designer Lapo Ciatti, and the new name Opinion Ciatti. For the next half decade, Bruno the company’s was president, partner, and artistic director.
