The prestigious Compasso d’Oro ADI 2024 in the design of materials and technological systems category was awarded to Cellia, the innovative interactive facade model developed by Progetto CMR in collaboration with the Focchi Group. This recognition comes at a significant time for Progetto CMR, which celebrates its 30 years of activity in 2024, and for the award itself, which celebrates its 70 years of history.
Compasso d’Oro, Cellia
Cellia represents a breakthrough in the construction sector, conceived as a responsive and technologically advanced module that integrates a wide range of functionalities. From the air conditioning system to energy production via photovoltaic panelsfrom the management of internal and external lighting to screening and ventilation systems, Cellia presents itself as a single modularly customizable element for building facades.
Compasso d’Oro and CMR Project
The approach of Progetto CMR and the Focchi Group aims to revolutionize the traditional conception of facades, transforming them from simple separators to active components integrated into the urban and architectural context. Thanks to its flexibility and modularity, Cellia can be easily installed on new constructions or existing buildings, minimizing the impact on residents and reducing construction times.
The intelligent design of Cellia is not limited to technological functionality, but also extends to the sustainability and resilience of buildings, key points of Industry 5.0. This innovative approach not only improves the energy efficiency of properties, but also contributes to the comfort and well-being of the occupants.
Compasso d’Oro, history
The ADI Compasso d’Oro, established in 1954 by Gio Ponti to celebrate excellence in Italian design, now recognizes Cellia as an addition of exceptional artistic and historical value to its prestigious collection. With this recognition, Cellia establishes itself not only as an innovative product, but also as a symbol of the Italian ability to combine tradition and innovation in the field of industrial design.
