The trophy originated with the debut of the Core77 Design Awards 16 years ago. Back then lighting manufacturer Rich Brilliant Willing was operating as a studio and designed the trophy for us. We wanted something that would celebrate the range of talent and extraordinary effort that go into the making of great projects. So it was realized as an award that lets winners share the love and spread credit where it’s due. An aluminum mold that can be used to cast an unlimited number of award facsimiles for distribution to design team members, researchers, engineers, clients, and mom & dad! The fun part? The material used for castings could be anything from chocolate to silicone to jello.
