Founded in 2009 in Ancona, Italy, by architects Francesco Barberini and Nina A. Gunnell, Barberini & Gunnell blurs the boundaries between design, architecture, and art. The Studio delivers high-end, timeless interiors defined by collectible “talking pieces,” while The Atelier produces one-off and limited-edition works in rare materials such as marine-grade stainless steel, semi-precious stones, and crystal glass. Their client list spans luxury brands, five-star hotels, and private collectors worldwide, and their work appears at leading art fairs including Design Miami and PAD. Sustainability, artisanal mastery, and the preservation of refined, often endangered techniques underpin their creative ethos.
