The Trophy

Mirroring the theme of the Awards program it represents, the Core77 Design Awards trophy is a model of inclusion. A successful design rarely comes from singular effort - from ideation to strategy to implementation, innovative design solutions are nearly always the result of a collaborative, team-focused approach. To reflect the multitude of people involved in shaping winning designs, the Core77 trophy was crafted as a tool for recognition, both symbolically and literally. As a functional mold, the trophy can be used to manufacture additional casts, allowing each member of the team to be individually honored for their contribution.
