Torremato is awarded the prestigious Compasso D’Oro, the “oldest and most prestigious Industrial Design award in the World” with outdoor pathway light Bitta (design Enzo Berti) “for adding functionality to a classic and symbolic object, renewing it in a discrete way.” ll Fanale faces the new interional scene and new market challenges through the generational shift. The helm of the company is given to the two sons Marzia and Tomas, who grew up in the company inheriting the passion for lighting. Marzia becomes General Manager and Tomas is appointed as Art Director.
