Concept

November 7 to 19, 2023.

ADI Design Index 2023, 219 products and services highlighting the best of contemporary Italian design, plus projects by design students from Italian universities: the near future of the world of the profession. Overall, the choice of the ADI Permanent Design Observatory, which works on the selection throughout the year, outlines a picture that focuses on the elaboration of new proposals, both theoretical and practical, and on the ability to spread their quality.

The key word that inspires this edition of the ADI Design Index is QUALITY: “Quality is a connective element for all Italian design,” writes Luciano Galimberti in the catalog. “The quality of design proposals linked to production quality; manufacturing quality, to get to process quality; quality as a distinctive and structural factor of sustainable and responsible development; quality as a connector present in the entire supply chain of Italian design: the core around which to conceive and develop innovative ideas to combine functionality and well-being. Quality no longer as an end goal, but as recognition of a method.”

The selection of ADI Design Index 2023 completes with that of 2022 the shortlist of candidates for the XXVIII edition of the biennial Compasso d’Oro award, which will be held in 2024 on the 70th anniversary of the founding of the prize, which was established in 1954. The open exhibition at the ADI Design Museum will move again this year at the end of November to Rome, to a brand new venue: the Spazio WeGil, a cultural hub of the Lazio Region managed by LAZIOcrea.
