Compasso d’Oro ADI awards celebrate design innovation in Milan

The 29th edition of the Compasso d’Oro ADI awards was held on May 22 at the ADI Design Museum in Milan. The ceremony honored 20 projects, alongside 38 Honorable Mentions, 3 Compassi d’Oro Young awards, and career achievements.

Under the theme ‘the project as a critical reading of the world,’ the awards recognized design as a tool for addressing sustainability, inclusion, industrial innovation, and quality of living. The winning selection spanned diverse categories, including furniture, lighting, automobiles, bicycles, medical devices, and digital tools.

An international jury, including designer Jasper Morrison and ADI President Luciano Galimberti, evaluated the entries to reflect a contemporary landscape where domestic life intersects with mobility, health, and the environment.
