Moreover he was honoured together with Alberto Meda with the First Prize of the Index Award for the Solar Bottle, which was also selected for the MOMA’s Study Collection, and received the Prize of Prizes to Innovation in Design from Italy’s president Giorgio Napolitano for the Hope chandelier and the prestigious Compasso d’Oro 2011.
