Associazione per il Disegno Industriale 'Industrial Design Association' (ADI), is an Italian professional organisation of about 1,100 architects, designers, manufacturers, trade journalists, academics, and design universities.^[1] Its primary purpose is the promotion of good design in Italy and abroad. The ADI is responsible for the administration of the Compasso d'Oro design awards and an associated museum.^[2]

History and purpose

The ADI was founded in 1956 in Milan by a group of prominent architects, designers, and industrialists including Gio Ponti, Alberto Rosselli [it], Giulio Castelli [it], and Livio Castiglioni (who, respectively, served as the first three presidents of the organisation).^[3]^[4]

The objective of the ADI is to promote and enhance the understanding of and impact of high-quality Italian and international design as an industrial, economic, and cultural phenomenon.^[5]

The biennial Compasso d'Oro award, considered to be the most prestigious industry accolade, is granted by the ADI. A collection of Compasso d'Oro winning designs and other material related to the history and practice of design in Italy and abroad is held by the ADI Design Museum in Milan.^[6]^[7]^[5]
