History

The ADI Design Museum museum was established in 2001 in order to exhibit, promote, and conserve the collection of Compasso d'Oro winning designs and related archival material held by the Associazione per il Disegno Industriale (ADI) in Milan, Italy. The collection includes over 350 objects and works dating back to the inception of the Compasso d'Oro Award in 1954.[1][2][3]

The museum has been located in a converted industrial building on Piazza Compasso d'Oro in the Porta Volta neighbourhood of Milan since 2021. It was designed by the architects Mara Servetto, Ico Migliore (Migliore + Servetto), with the designer Italo Lupi overseeing the curation of the historical collection.[4][5] The focal point of the museum is the main gallery gallery, a glass atrium that connects via Ceresio with via Bramante. The complex includes the adjacent palazzo and also houses the headquarters of the ADI, the museum conservatory and offices, a cafeteria, bookshop and meeting spaces. It is bordered by the Fabbrica del Vapore cultural centre, an arts exhibition and research facility designed by Herzog & De Meuron.[6][7]
