ADI Design Index 2020. Eagle One on stage at the Casa dell’Architettura in Rome.

/in /by

Following the exhibition at the ADI Design Museum in Milan, Eagle One flew to Rome to the Casa dell’Architettura (Architecture House) – Acquario Romano for a new exhibition showing a significant choice of products selected for the ADI Design Index, the annual review of the best Italian design.

Eagle One by Victoria Arduino has been selected for the prestigious ADI Design Index 2020 recognition. The ADI Design Index 2020 is a special selection, made by the Permanent Observatory of Design, that covers products and product systems in every market, theoretical and critical research and design-related processes or businesses.

The choice of the Roman location is very significant: the “Casa dell’Architettura” (Architecture House) is a new important cultural and exhibition institution, with the objective of promoting the Roman architectural culture and contemporary architecture in general, through national and international exhibitions, awards, conferences, meetings and initiatives.

The ADI Design Index 2020 exhibition will be open until 2 July at the Casa dell’Architettura in Rome, Piazza Manfredo Fanti 47.

Black Eagle enters the Forbidden City

Interconnections between design, technology and millennial Chinese culture.

Chinese culture and the consumption of coffee in China are rapidly growing at a rate of 30% a year (read full article). Nowadays in China, coffee-drinking has become commonplace, but its association with a high-value product has not changed and it is supported by ever-more innovative technology.

This is the case for the “Cafè by the Forbidden City”, a coffee shop that opened just over two years ago which is found in a special and inspiring place, the Museum of Shenwu Men Palace (Gate of Divine Prowess) in Beijing. For some months now, the coffee shop has been preparing drinks using a special VA388 Black Eagle in copper in a setting that allows guests to experience and appreciate Chinese culture as part of a visit to the Shenwu Men Palace.

The interior of the café contains a great deal of wooden furniture with floors in grey slate and walls that are decorated in wallpaper showing the Map of Qian Li Jiang Shan (千里 江山 图). The ceiling beams are draped in tapestries inspired by the works in the Palace Museum. The presence of a technological product that adapts to the materials and colours of the atmosphere of the surroundings thus also becomes a message of the evolution of coffee culture in China.

This is how countries and regions, faced with new challenges, with their knowledge and skills, take on a new social, cultural and productive importance, and they become interconnected. In this way, design and technology participate in the interaction between local and global in the name of coffee.
