Jan. 21 – The Chicago Athenaeum jury – which since 1950 has awarded the most prestigious award dedicated to excellence in the design world – handed for the third consecutive year a special prize to Olimpia Splendid, a leading Italian company in the field of air conditioning, heating and air treatment. The company – based in Brescia but present on 45 foreign markets – has been awarded the prestigious Good Design Award. The winning products for the category Household Products for 2014 are three: the Mia pellet stove, the Radical Twin ceramic fan heater, and Bi2 Smart air radiator, three new products presented in 2014 “with a technological edge – explains the company – combined with a natural taste for aesthetics and practicality.” The Chicago Athenaeum is an international museum of architecture and design, dedicated to the art of design in architecture, industrial and product design, graphic design, landscape architecture, and urban planning.
