AD Italia explores what makes design Italian with anniversary redesign

Milan-based design studio Giga has reimagined the Italian edition of Architectural Digest, drawing on four principles from the country’s design history to create a distinctive editorial identity. The new system spans typography, layouts, colour and imagery, with Arizona by Dinamo Typefaces providing the magazine’s typographic foundation. Launching with the November 2026 issue, the redesign marks 45 years of AD Italia and aims to give the title a stronger connection to Italian design culture.
