Valcucine receives Honors

In December 2010, I posted Congratulations to Valcucine , for an award they received.  Then, they did it again, in February 2011, when they received, the “GREEN GOOD DESIGN AWARD,” for their Invitrum 100% system.

Valcucine, is the first, fully recyclable glass base unit, with recycled aluminum parts and a single, 10 mm thick, structural side panel, that has gained them prominent recognition.

Valcucine Philosophy

Valcucine’s philosophy, is that of a company whose work method, is based on a system that balances the use and the restoration of environmental resources. They save on raw materials, by favoring a design that is focused on materialization, the ability to recycle it, and the re-utilization of products, at the end of their lifespan.

Now, for Valcucine, the “Premio dei Premi” is the crowning achievement at the end of a thirty-year long path paved with genius and passion.  It is an important award, for a manufacturing company whose profit is, above all, the consequence of an ethical and cultural process.  Valcucine, is a  company, that has always been guided by Nature. It is the inspiration of Nature, that inspires its potentials to be expressed, as well as, its limits to be respected.

Valcucine design and innovation is recognized

Valcucine’s design is an “intellectual” one, in which aesthetics and plenty of creativity, go hand-in-hand.  An approach, in which research into useful and beautiful things, combines with respect for Man and for the environment.

This year, the Premio dei Premi per l’Innovazione 2011, or Prize of Prizes for Innovation, went to Gabriele Centazzo, the soul of Valcucine.

“For the social and ecological awareness, with which Valcucine, a company that expresses a business culture based on ethics, environmental friendliness, and innovation, has been managed and maintained, since the eighties .
The prize has been given to this commitment, as an example for businessmen and designers, to the aim of encouraging attention to sustainability, as a method to be adopted, together with formal and functional research, in planning and producing design products.”

This is the reason why Gabriele Centazzo, president of Valcucine, receives the “Premio dei Premi per l’Innovazione”; for thirty years of business research activity into “Ethics, environment, and innovation.” , Gabriele Centazzo, was selected from the ADI Design Index 2010. The prize was awarded, personally by the President of the Italian Republic Giorgio Napolitano.

This prestigious prize, established by the Ministry of public administration and innovation, is aimed at sustaining business initiatives in many sectors, rewarding creative activities so that a culture of change and innovation can be developed in our country.

The Italian Minister of Public Administration and Innovation, Renato Brunetta, has listed ADI amongst the reference associations for the Prize because of the value of the selections made by the Compasso d’Oro, that has been promoting Italian design for over 50 years, putting the innovative qualities of the project and of the product to the fore.

Valcucine, continues to lead the way, in style, respect for nature and the environment, while always focusing on sustainability.  Congratulations to Valcucine, for the well deserved award.
