While at University he collaborated with the design consulting studio for Olivetti, directed by Ettore Sottsass Jr., where he met Giorgio Marianelli with whom he started his own activity opening the Raul Barbieri e Giorgio Marianelli Architetti studio in Milan, dealing mainly with architecture and industrial design.

The project for a district of terraced houses in Milan which dates back to this period was recently presented at the “Compasso D’Oro ADI Architectural and Design” exhibition in London.

His interest for the world of living brings to life collaboration with prestigious names such as Acerbis International, Alivar Gallery, CiDue, Magis, Ycami, Plank, Rexite, Tronconi, Zucchetti.
