The 2020 edition was launched with even more enthusiasm than ever. The heartfelt intent was to encourage and support efforts that, at this moment in time, require tremendous determination, ingenuity, and sacrifice.
The winning products portray an up-to-date picture of current trends in a wide range of sectors, among which indoor and outdoor furniture, lighting, decor, building products, and household appliances.
The heterogeneous selection of winners includes well-established Made in Italy companies like Poltrona Frau, Minotti, Flou, Artemide and Martinelli Luce, and up-and-coming brands like Forma & Cemento, PLH, and ANDlight.
Numerous international names participated in the contest: the Nordic Piet Boon and Gejst; the Japanese Ritzwell; the American BassamFellows; the Spanish Vibia and Gandia Blasco; the German Midgard Licht, Gaggenau and Pulpo.
Some of the winning brands, like BTicino and Velux Commercial, proposed technological solutions for the construction sector. Others, like Samsung, Object Carpet, Ceadesign, Framery, PaperStone®, investigated the theme of sustainability, presenting environmentally friendly, low energy-consumption products.
The winning brands will receive a Limited Edition trophy produced by De Castelli. Designed by the Spanish office MUT Design, the sculptural object plays with the oxidation of metal and the optical illusion of the Möbius strip.
A new trophy will be awarded to the designers of winning product for the first time this year. Created exclusively by Salvatori and designed by Michael Anastassiades, the monolith in white Carrara marble is an original interpretation of the ADA logo.
In compliance with Covid-19 measures, there will be no award ceremony this year, an event traditionally held at Archiproducts Milano. Instead, ADA digital content and communications will offer the global community of architects and designers even more opportunities to share and spread ideas.
Here are the names of the 2020 Winners!
