The studio in the Treccani volume on the historic Compasso d’Oro Collection
Treccani publishes a volume devoted to seventy years of the Compasso d’Oro and its collection, in which the studio’s projects also appear.
On 7 May 2025, in the presence of the Italian Minister of Culture Alessandro Giuli, the ADI Design Museum in Milan hosted the presentation of Compasso d’Oro. ADI Design Museum – Historical Collection, edited by Beppe Finessi and published by Treccani. The volume is the first to recount the complete history of the award and its collection, recognised in 2004 by the Ministry of Culture as an asset of exceptional historical and artistic interest.
With 1,040 pages, 2,275 images and 57 essays in Italian and English, the book brings together all the winners from 1954 to 2022, each accompanied by a critical entry. It reads design as a cultural, social and economic phenomenon.
We are honoured to be included in such a comprehensive work, and we thank Beppe Finessi for the words he devoted to our products and our work. The book also features the studio’s three Compasso d’Oro awards: Shuttle for iGuzzini in 1989, AGH 171 New for Aermec in 1991 and LaTina for Fratelli Guzzini in 2004.
