AVE in the museum of Compasso d’Oro Award

AVE is protagonist within the ADI Design Museum. Dedicated to the most important design award in the world, it hosts AVE products in the Compasso d'Oro Collection.

Recently inaugurated in Milan, this innovative museum presents itself as a new point of reference for the design community with the objective of informing the general public too. In this place the Compasso d'Oro Collection finds its own permanent exhibition, including the AVE products awarded of the coveted recognition that was born from an idea of Gio Ponti and - since 1954 - aims to highlight the quality of made in Italy products and, in particular, to recognize the value process that design imprints on the world of production and to society across the board.

Being included in the Compasso d'Oro museum is a source of pride for AVE.  Since 1904, the year of its foundation, had a special connection with innovation. For AVE "innovation" means creating solutions that encourage progress and make it effective and accessible to all. From here stems its vocation in making switches, in creating a contact with energy that is both functional and refined in aesthetics, so that a simple habitual action can be transformed into a moment of encounter with technology and style.

Over the years, the collaboration with the most renowned international designers and the continuous research for innovation has led AVE to win many awards; among these, there is also Compasso d'Oro Award for the first 45 mm modular switch of Habitat Series, designed by Andries Van Onck. At the turn of the seventies and eighties of the last century, this collection literally transformed the way of turning on the light. It’s a real piece of design history, now housed in the ADI Design Museum. It’s another great and important result for a historic brand of Italian design. AVE has been chosen with satisfaction for millions of installations in Italy and abroad over the years and until today as a brand recognized all over the world like a symbol of high-quality Made in Italy.
