The fifth edition of the ADI Ceramics & Bathroom Design Award for innovative design in the Italian ceramic tile and bathroom furnishing sectors will be held during the 36th edition of Cersaie, International exhibition of ceramic tile and bathroom furnishings (Bologna, 24 – 28 September 2018). The award is organised in cooperation with ADI – Industrial Design Association as part of the cultural activities of the Building Dwelling Thinking programme.

During the first few days of the show, a panel of experts consisting of Silvia Stanzani (designer), Oscar G. Colli (Co-founder of the magazine Il Bagno oggi e domani) and Valentina Downey (Chairman of ADI, Emilia Romagna Delegation) will appraise exhibited products in the ceramic tile and bathroom furnishing segments and select those that have most successfully combined innovation with design excellence. The products chosen during these two days will be shortlisted for submission to the ADI Design Index 2019, an annual publication by the International Design Association ADI containing the best of Italian design put into production and selected by the ADI Permanent Design Monitor. This index covers all types of products and systems as well as theoretical, process and company research in the field of design.
