RIVA 68’ EGO : JUST o­nE STEP LEFT FOR THE ADI GOLDEN COMPASS

The 68’ Ego, the first yacht of the Riva production in La Spezia, which was launched in May 2005, has been selected to feature in the ADI Design Index 2006, to be presented at the Triennale in Milan o­n 15th December.

Publication in the Index represents the second of three steps, leading up to the XXI edition of the ADI Golden Compass. The award was established in 1954 by “La Rinascente” and the historical fathers of Italian industrial design and has become, over the years, the most renowned acknowledgment of quality in goods, services and systems. The selection, which follows strict procedures and exclusive merit criteria, was made by the permanent Observatory of Design, a group of 100 experts organised in commissions that operate at three different levels: territorial; thematic and technical. The Observatory could not fail to recognise the distinctive lines and purity of design of the 68’ Ego and, immediately, saw in this model an avant-garde revitalisation of the “open” concept, in which innovative technical solutions and strong personality merge to create a masterpiece of modern yacht design
