Bruno Rainaldi
Bruno Rainaldi got his experience on the job starting working when he was really young, in the interior design communication.
He ironically defined himself “street designer” and his style “chaotically rigorous”.
He manages in Milan the first High-Tech shop on Corso di Porta Ticinese, then alongside Maddalena de Padova in the historic showroom on Corso Venezia and Enrico Baleri as a partner of Baleri & Associati in the definition of communication strategies for design companies and shops.
He founds the Studio Rari – of which he is the soul and creative director – and he starts to cooperate as art director /designer with several companies of the Italian design such as Alivar, MDF, Mussi Italy, Sintesi. Then Terzani, Slamp, Casprini, Annibale Colombo, Bilumen, Davide Medri e Dilmos. Up to the recent project Opinion Ciatti, born from the important artistic and entrepreneurial partnership with Lapo Ciatti.
In the mid-1980s Bruno Rainaldi meets Flavia Ciatti. From their friendship/confrontation the idea of a new company comes to life – CCR – geared towards the development of home accessories not exclusively for the kitchen. Many important pieces of his internal design production come out under the brand CCR
In 2006 Lapo Ciatti, who represented the third generation, steps into the company with the entrepreneurial instinct typical of his family and his education in Industrial Design. New confrontations and new opinions. Opinion Ciatti was born, of which Bruno Rainaldi is president, partner and art director.
With a deep knowledge of the market, a great passion for visual arts and a precious talent for transverse associations built up over the years, Bruno Rainaldi definitely binds his professionalism to the world of design.
In 2002 he opens Entratalibera with Marta Giardini, a very specialized space in Milan where he exhibits his projects and a selection of items. A “laboratory of shapes” open to research and experimentation.
Bruno Rainaldi has designed bookcases, tables, chairs, sofas, armchairs, beds, accessories and lightning. A universe on intense and iconic items, which do not reflect a stylistic coherence but rather the real meaning of industrial design: to produce the right items for the right uses.
Something they have in common is the essential design, the freedom in their use and the compositional versatility.
