This year, Crippaconcept has chosen to participate in Milan Design Week, an event of international significance, to unveil a novel collaboration with the architecture and Design Studio of Matteo Thun: the HELIOS mobile home. The selected venue is noteworthy: the ADI Design Museum, where the new concept will be showcased in the garden area at Piazza del Compasso d’Oro 1, from 16 to 21 April, open from 10:00 to 20:00.
The ADI Design Museum in Milan celebrates excellence and innovation in industrial and productive design, located at the city’s heart. There is no better place to exhibit Crippaconcept’s latest creation, marking its third appearance at Milan Design Week as part of DDNHub. This year, we present the HELIOS mobile home, a forefront in mobile living solutions for open-air tourism, realised from last year’s announced collaboration with the renowned studio of Matteo Thun. HELIOS embodies sustainability and functional space design for glamping vacations, ensuring uninterrupted nature contact. It is a temporary and removable ‘home’ solution in three timeless styles: essential, classic, and modern.
The ADI Design Museum was created to showcase the entire repertoire of projects in the historical collection of the Compasso d’Oro award. This award was created in 1954 thanks to an idea by Gio Ponti to promote the quality of Made in Italy design and today it is the oldest and most authoritative form of recognition within the industry worldwide.
The museum is managed by the ADI Compasso d’Oro Collection Foundation, established in 2001 by ADI – the Association for Industrial Design to safeguard and enhance the artifacts built up over the decades of the award. This is a national cultural legacy, recognized by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage as “of exceptional artistic and historical interest”. More info: www.adidesignmuseum.org
