COMPASSO D’ORO INTERNATIONAL AWARD THEMATIC CATEGORIES:

Furniture and furnishing accessories for the home, sanitary ware and bathroom accessories, kitchen furniture and accessories, household appliances and home electronics, home automation control systems, outdoor and garden furniture, gardening equipment, urban furnishings, materials and surfaces, air conditioning and heating systems.

The living space is not only functionality — it is a place of relationship, wellbeing, movement and creativity. Products designed for domestic and urban environments can facilitate playful activities, daily movement or music, contributing to the physical and mental health of individuals and the quality of community life.

Lighting fixtures for public or private interiors and exteriors, lighting systems, monumental and street lighting.

Lighting contributes to the liveability of public and private spaces where sporting activities, concerts and moments of gathering take place. Lighting projects can improve safety, visual comfort and atmosphere — fundamental elements for positive collective experiences.

Individual and collective means for aerial, nautical and road mobility; bicycles and bicycle accessories, cars and motorcycles, motorhomes and caravans, boats, trains and aeroplanes, alternative mobility, road safety and mobility accessories.

Mobility allows access to spaces for play, sport and music in a sustainable way, fostering participation by all. Projects that reduce physical barriers, improve safety and inclusion broaden the possibility for individuals and communities to play together, with positive impacts on health and social interaction.

Furniture and accessories for work and office, professional appliances, means of transport for work and commercial vehicles, machines and components for industry, software, tools and equipment for work, furniture and equipment for communities, medical and health tools and equipment.

Work too can benefit from a “playful” approach: environments and tools that encourage creativity, collaboration and wellbeing promote balance between personal and professional life, increasing adaptability, innovation and participation.

Communication, packaging, services and spaces related to the sale and consumption of edible products, objects and tools for food preparation and use, foods and dishes.

Food has always been an integral part of shared sporting, musical and social events. Food design can make these experiences more inclusive, sustainable and accessible, promoting healthy lifestyles and conviviality beyond the event, in everyday life.
