Reason for the award:
The La Rinascente Compasso d'Oro Award was assigned to the JSA Cretonne Picaro “Alta Marea” fabric above all for the suitability of the type of technique applied by the company to this type of design. It seemed to constitute a sensitive invention with regard to the multiple functions of a furnishing fabric, without pictorial complacency even in the subtle contrast of tones. The rich variety of potential uses of this material, which imply a high level of manufacturability, underlines the "industrial" character of this printed fabric
