With the stand “Music Records – Vinyl Shop”, presented at Cersaie 2024, Fondovalle officially enters the ADI Design Index 2025, the prestigious annual selection that gathers products and projects that stand out in the contemporary Italian scene.
An unprecedented parallel between music and ceramics
The selection recognizes the originality, innovation, and expressive strength of the exhibition project signed by Fondovalle, the result of careful creative research and constant progress in Research & Development.
Already awarded with the ADI Booth Design Award for excellence in setup, the same “Music Records” stand, curated by the creative studio IKOS – Architettura della comunicazione, managed to combine materials, colors, and finishes in a balanced material play, proposing a sensory journey built on the parallelism between music and ceramics. Inspired by the aesthetics of record stores and the collective ritual of listening, Fondovalle’s exhibition space told of welcoming and refined environments, made of lounges, libraries, and porcelain stoneware surfaces.
A team of excellence
Each collection was associated with a musical genre, creating thematic islands with circular disk-shaped surfaces, where design meets culture and experimentation.
The realization of the stand involved a team of excellences: Magnani, Baccarani & Torri, Teknoposa, Let’s Cover, Paola Rompianesi, and Caminetti Bertucci, partners who contributed to defining a project in which every technical or aesthetic detail contributed to a coherent and distinctive narrative.
The inclusion in the ADI Design Index 2025 therefore represents a prestigious achievement and a recognition of Fondovalle’s values and teamwork.
The ADI Design Index 2025 constitutes the first volume of the biennial cycle that selects and collects products eligible for the Compasso d'Oro ADI 2026 Award, the most authoritative recognition of Italian design. Established in 1954 by “La Rinascente” and managed by ADI since 1956, the Compasso d’Oro has rewarded for over seventy years the productive and design quality of goods, services, and systems of Italian design, giving life to the largest historical design collection recognized since 2004 as a national heritage. Since 2009, the ADI Design Index also represents the annual selection for the National Innovation Award (“Premio dei Premi”), sponsored by the Presidency of the Republic, which identifies the most significant projects for their innovative contribution.
With this inclusion, Fondovalle confirms the consistency of a path based on research, project culture, and the ability to interpret ceramic material as a contemporary language.
