The Visconti Pavilion is the venue chosen to proclaim the winners of the Archiproducts Design Awards 2022. This multifunctional space of over 1,200 square metres is located in the heart of the former Ansaldo warehouses, a true "backstage" for Milan's Teatro alla Scala, a place that can change its essence from show business to cultural outpost bringing together art, fashion and design. While the event of the 2021 edition was an opportunity to explore the role of 3D art in design, the theme of ADA 2002 has been the near future of Artificial Intelligence and its possible impact on the creative process. Being a talking point for several years, the event allowed to glimpse the first concrete results that seem to herald a real revolution. It's the new generations that will have the task of fully understanding the potential and incredible applications of Machine Learning in the world of design. Supervised by the students of the New Academy of Fine Arts in Milan (NABA), a "TEXT TO IMAGE" experience took visitors on an immersive journey into the world of AI, allowing them to create and visualize their ideas beyond the limits of time and imagination.
While guests were immersed Artificial Intelligence and humanoids, the evening continued with the presentation of the coveted award to the winners of the 2022 edition. The brand Winners received the icon/trophy designed by Spanish studio MUT Design and fabricated by De Castelli for this edition with a DeMarea Brass finish, whose "watercolour" effect is obtained by superimposing manual oxidation on brass. Designers received a marble trophy made by Salvatori and designed by Michael Anastassiades. The Archiproducts Design Awards logo inspires the design of this monolith in Gris du Marais® marble in which light streaks mingle with the deepest and most iridescent tones. The Special Sustainability Mention was conferred by an exceptional jury of experts in eco- and sustainable design to brands that distinguish themselves for their commitment to minimising pollution and the environmental impacts of their products across their entire life cycle, using sustainable and recyclable materials.

As an absolute novelty of this year's edition, jurors of the Archiproducts Design Awards 2022 received a steel house designed and produced in collaboration with ceadesign.
It is a recognition that Archiproducts introduced to thank them for their important contribution to the award. A small but very precious architecture conceived as a "Seal" of sensitivity and competence, which leads back to the fundamental role of the jury as interpreter of the contemporaneity in each candidate product.
