It seems those eminent doctors from ADI even spotted some good news through the usual big brands of italian design.

The clever RHINO bastard is small but strong! With sure rams he got a rilevant place on the pages of ADI Design Index, amongst the bunch of renowned signatures like Pininfarina or Renzo Piano.

Since 1954 the ADI foundation for italian design holds every year the Compasso d’Oro prize, for notable results in projects, products and research that took place inside the national boundaries.

The best wishes are all for Enrique Luis Sardi, because he’s the friend who tamed the beast, together with the precious hints of our man, Max Bonassi.

These are the parts for the structure only, the layers are excluded… what a useless wooden toy!
