“The profound transformations that design is called upon to interpret, from the environmental crisis to economic and social inequalities, push design culture to engage in a variety of directions, from a conscious use of the resources available to the planet to the creation of objects capable of including and enhancing the various different components of civic society.” This is how the jury composed by Mario Cucinella, Stefano Micelli, Cloe Piccoli and Mirko Zardini – and chaired by Annachiara Sacchi – describes the principles that structured the selection process of the 28th Compasso d’Oro ADI award winners, which have been announced on 20 June, chosen between 292 products listed in the ADI Design Index: “a selection guided by the key concepts of development, sustainability and responsibility”.
