A graduate from the Ecole Boulle (1978-1984), Bruno Borrione worked for a year with Nemo (design agency run by François Scali and Alain Domingo) and took courses at UP6. In 1985 he joined the team of Philippe Starck and participated in various projects in Japan (Nani Nani, Asahi) or the United States for Ian Schrager. There he met Kristian Gavoille, Bruno Lefebvre, Franck Argentine and Anda Andrei, and became close friends.
