“Biga” wins Compasso d'Oro award.
The award ceremony for the eponymous prize was held last night-June 20, 2024-at the ADI Museum in Milan’s Piazza Compasso d’Oro.
The award, established in 1954 from an ‘idea of Gio Ponti, considered the oldest and most prestigious industrial design award in the world, involved 20 products, honoring companies and designers with a title that enters the history of industrial design, the products awarded with the Compasso d’Oro Award, in fact enter by right into the ADI Compasso d’Oro Collection, declared on April 22, 2004 by the Ministry of Heritage and Culture of “exceptional artistic and historical interest.”
Among the award-winning products was “Biga,” a multifunctional lamp designed by Venetian designer Marco Zito and produced by the company Lym. This is not the first award for the young Sacile-based lighting company, but certainly the most important one received to date. Lym, born as an innovative start-up in 2017 with a technological mobile and intelligent lighting system, seven years after its launch does not stop innovating and bringing revolutionary ideas to the home lighting market.
The Biga lamp, a project developed by four hands with Venetian designer Marco Zito, consists of a 360-degree bed-side solution that is as simple as it is multi-purpose, features that led the examiners to award the product with the prestigious prize with the following motivation: “a multifunctional product with small dimensions interprets the new housing needs – bedside table, lamp, connectivity, recharging -, for spaces that are increasingly reduced by the economic pressure of urban development in the globalized world.”
This is therefore the first – hopefully of a long series – Compasso d’Oro for both the designer and the company, which reap the fruits of a collaboration that began in 2019 with the rechargeable table lamp “Suro” and continued with the award-winning “Biga.”
