ADI Design Index is the annual selection of the best of Italian design and is an integral part of the system of
selection for the ADI Compasso d’Oro Award: each year, through the ADI Permanent Design Observatory –
a working group made up of more than one hundred experts, also drawn from outside the association - it
examines the design of new products that have gone in production.
Following a structured selection process (territorial and thematic commissions, and a final selection
committee), the best design products are presented together with a critical appraisal that highlights the
reasons for the choice, in the ADI Design Index.
We are honored to announce that the Lego low table and console, designed by Draga&Aurel for Visionnaire,
have been selected for the ADI Design Index 2021.
The word “Lego” has a double meaning in Italian: it means to join, to link but it also recalls the famous game
that brought together the childhood of countless children, including that of the designers, giving the joy of
being able to build something real, from a tower to a train. Hence the choice of this name for the low table
and the console which are the result of the embrace of geometric shapes, perfect together but harmonious
and solid even separated.The main materials for these pieces are concrete eroded by sea salt and metal
elements.
