XXI ADI GOLDEN COMPASS AWARD 2008



 Dino Gavina / Portrait  previous next 
Gavina embarked on his extraordinary career as an endlessly inventive designer and Socratic midwife to talents other than his own in the early postwar years, when the word “design” was not yet a part of people’s everyday vocabulary. He was an endlessly curious man, permanently encamped outside or alongside the borders of existing ideas and assumptions, a lifelong devotee of innovation, always treading the borderline between art and design, ethics and aesthetics, industrial manufacturer and éditeur. He died in 2007, leaving a cultural trail which he himself blazed for others to follow.
