The ADI Permanent Design Observatory has selected the BEK chair by Giulio Iacchetti for publication in the ADI DESIGN INDEX 2008. With a jury of over 100 design experts, this marks the beginning of the selection process for the XII Premio Compasso d'Oro, one of the world's most prestigious design awards.

The BEK folding chair Giulio Iacchetti has been recognised in the important ADI DESIGN CODEX 2008 by the delegation responsable for the North Eastern region of Italy as part of their Design Observatory - an official recognition awarded bi-monthly for excellence in design culture, creativity and entrepreneurial quality. Using a series of pre-established criteria, ADI selects those products which combine design, experimentation, research and innovation. Design is more than a mere aesthetic patina applied to a product; it is an integral part in the creation of a product and an element which constitutes part of the project from its creation and production through to its final implementation.
This year the Giro d’Italia celebrates 100 years of history, a century of glory which has made it one of the most celebrated sporting events in the world. A competition which embodies key sporting values: excellence, strength, positivity, innovation and passion. The same values which lay at the heart of Casamania’s company spirit. For this reason Casamania, Frezza and the Gruppo Doimo have decided to sponsor the ‘Liquigas’ cycling team, now known as ‘Liquigas Doimo’. Casamania will take its distinctive style to the road, furnishing the presentation podium of the “La Gazzetta dello Sport”; the lounge areas created at each stage and decorating the television sets for channel Rai Tre. Alongside renowned cyclists such as Ivan Basso and Lance Armstrong, Casamania will present its own ‘Champions of Design’: Sean Yoo with his ‘Opus Incertum’ bookshelf, Karim Rashid with the ‘Kant’ stool and Luca Nichetto with the ‘Vad’ table and the ‘Stereo’ chair.
The jury of the Design Forum Finland has awarded the honour of 'Young Designer of the year 2009' to Mikko Laakkonen for the 'freshness and sensibility of his projects'.

The prestigious international jury of the Elle Decoration International Design Awards 2009 has awarded Luca Nichetto winner of the special category Young Designer Talent.
