What BRH+ does

BRH+ is an interdisciplinary architecture and design practice founded by Barbara Brondi and Marco Rainò in Turin, Italy (legal entity Studio Professionale BRH+, founded circa 2008). The studio offers six professional service lines: architecture (residential, commercial, exhibition, office, production, renovation, wellness, and window display), graphic design (visual identity, editorial, exhibit graphics, music), art direction (music, fashion, cultural events), curatorship (exhibitions, residencies via IN Residence), product design (furniture, ceramics, wallpapers, collectible objects), and writings/publications (monographs, critical essays with Quodlibet, NERO Editions, Corraini, Icon Design, Domus). It serves luxury residential clients, cultural institutions (MAXXI, Gallerie d'Italia, CAMERA Torino, Museo Nazionale del Cinema, MAO, Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève), luxury fashion and lifestyle brands (Carlo Pignatelli, Marella), music industry clients (Sony Music, Universal Music, Warner, Subsonica, Samuel), and design manufacturers (CEDIT/Florim, LAGO, Texturae, MMOOS).

The business model is fee-for-service professional services delivered through direct client engagement (no intermediaries, no public pricing). GTM is sales-led, relying on founders' reputations, IN Residence curatorial platform, exhibitions at Milan Design Week and major museums, awards, and earned media in Domus, Dezeen, Icon Design, and Exibart rather than paid advertising. Geographic scope is global (Europe, Asia, North America) despite a single Turin office. Sub-brands include IN Residence (curatorial/residency platform, since 2009), MMOOS (furniture), and MARCA (Turin craft-design collection). The studio is privately held with no external investment, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed financials.

Recent strategic posture emphasizes thought leadership through editorial publishing and institutional exhibition design (18th Quadriennale d'arte Roma, Carrie Mae Weems at Gallerie d'Italia, Compasso d'Oro 2026 nomination) while selectively expanding product licensing (MOSTRO/MMOOS, Texturae, Telesforo). Awards cadence is strong and ongoing (Luxury Lifestyle Awards 2025, ADI Design Index 2024, BIG SEE Tourism Award 2022, Dezeen Awards 2022, Architizer A+Awards 2023 finalist, Premio IN/Architettura 2023, NYCxDESIGN Award 2016).
