Since 2013, bruno is the pseudonym of Andrea Codolo and Giacomo Covacich. Based in Venice, the project combines a graphic design studio, a bookstore and, since 2014, a publishing house that releases artists’ books, critical essays and exhibition catalogues.

Over the past decade, the editorial activity has become increasingly central, evolving into the core of bruno‘s design practice: the editorial work thus serves not only to disseminate content but also as an experimental lab, a field of professional research, and a space for reflection in the realm of design.

Over seventy books exhibited at the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Montréal reveal different ways of inhabiting the page, outlines a path in which publishing and graphic design constantly interact and influence each other.

Designed and published by, open to the public until May 23, 2025, will serve as an opportunity to visually and thematically capture the wide array of projects that have, over time, defined bruno‘s identity.
