Reason for the award:

The inventive ingenuity, the innovative criteria in the use of the material, the shape of the motor cover and the functional solutions make this piece a typical example of an aesthetic result deriving directly from a technical context, the designer having conceived the support constituted by the two crossed and interlinked metal circles based on the spherical shape that almost perfectly circumscribes the fundamental shape of each small induction motor. The "La Rinascente Compasso d'Oro 1954" Award has been given to this device, thereby symbolically rewarding the high level of general aesthetic validity of Zerowatt production which, in its field, represents a commendable example
