The hunt for winners of the CODEX award was started on the 2013 Hangzhou Industrial Design Fair held on August 31, and Ningbo Hefeng Creativity Square was selected as the main site for awards selection. The awarded works are likely to be exhibited on Milan Expo two years later.
Founded in 1954, CODEX is the most influential award in industrial design. It has been listed as a national legacy of Italy by Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali in 2004. In its history of nearly 60 years, some 300 works have been awarded. In 2012, Associazione per il Disegno Industriale (ADI), the manager of the award since 1962, signed a contract with Ningbo Hefeng Creativity Square and set up the Design Center of Associazione per il Disegno Industriale in China, promoting the development of Ningbo's industrial design companies.
In 2013 and 2014, 50 pieces of works will be selected around China and then they will be sent to Milan in 2015 to attend the global competition.
"Proportionally, only five works will be awarded with CODEX," said relative staff of the design center in China. The work winning the big award will be exhibited on Milan Expo.
