Compasso d'oro: 50 Years of Italian Design
In In 1954, Aldo Borletti created the 'Compasso d'oro design awards'. These awards were meant to stimulate manufacturers and craftsmen to raise their production standards, both from a technological and aesthetical point of view.
Prominent award winners were, amongst others, Marcello Nizzoli, Marco Zanuso and Richard Sapper, Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni and Mario Bellini.
The exhibition will take place between 7 October 2006 and 26 November 2006.
