Cultural Production · Tbilisi, Georgia
We produce events that change something — in how a brand is understood, in how a team thinks about itself, in what a guest carries out of the room.
Who We Are
RUNO is a cultural production studio based in Tbilisi. We apply the logic of cultural programming to commercial briefs — before anything is specified, we ask what the guest should understand or feel a year from now.
In ancient mythology, the Argonauts sailed to Colchis seeking the Golden Fleece — "Runō." They came for treasure but discovered something greater: the transformative power that emerges where different worlds converge. This land, where continents meet, has always been a place of intersection.
We are based in Tbilisi and work worldwide.
