bunker is a design and research studio founded by Carlo Gandolfi in 2006, operating between Milan, Venice, Lisbon, and Sao Paulo.

bunker operates on all levels of design: graphics, staging, interior, city, and landscape design.
The research approach allows for an overall view ranging from the blank page to the open space, able to grasp the importance of quality in different contemporary contexts.
